Agent Augustus Elsworth is a Seeker of the Arcane Unknown, mechanic, pilot and thief... or so he believes. When he is caught trying to steal a magic artifact from the ruthless mobster Charles Patrick, he is offered a choice: buy it outright, or forget about his mission. In order to win the money, the young mechanic decides to enter the Cliffside Aeroprix, the most dangerous air race in the world. Can Augustus win the race, or even survive it?“Maiden Flight of the Avenger is a rattling yarn, held together with steam, pistons and beauty.” — Philippa Ballantine, Author of "Geist""A gripping story that lays down the groundwork for the incredible universe of The Gearheart." — Tee Morris, Author of "Phoenix Rising"

    Exciting
    Fun, maintains the feeling of adventure from the original while improving on some of the flaws. (Like having a likable main character)

    Aviation Magic Steampunk Miniseries
    This 8 episode miniseries companion to White’s Gearheart fiction / Audio Drama hybrid podcast is tons of fun. It’s tighter than the rambling Gearheart epic, and therefore feels a lot more coherent and complete. It does lean heavily in the world building of the previous series, but would be enjoyable as a stand-alone. Good music, too. Sure, you get women described as “birds” and otherwise talked down to/about. But there are also women in charge, with complicated motives, and driving important plot elements. So it’s a bit of a mix that way. And I’d love to see more rep in gender, generally ... as always. And so on. I don’t typically enjoy in-universe advertisements, but the ads here make me laugh out loud.

    An excellent prequel
    A fine prequel to Gearheart that gives us a interesting look into both the world and characters. Would love to see a little novella prequel for each character. Only thing I didn't like was the fact it will take awhile before we get more Gearheart

    Great podcast!!!
    Amazing story, great audio quality, and voice acting. I would suggest listening to the gearheart first. I am sad to hear though that it will be a long time until the sequel to the gearheart comes out. Good luck Alex White.
