Meet Kef Cutmark. pirate, monster-slayer, scourge of the Twisted Seas. After a lifetime of running from her past, she’s returned to Zorith – a tangled jungle of a thousand boats, all lashed together to make a floating city-ship. Zorith is powered by a device that draws energy from lightning. Mysterious, unique, and locked in an unbreachable tower, it’s the envy of Zorith’s rivals.
And Kef? She’s here to steal it. If she can take the device and cripple Zorith, maybe she’ll find justice for all the hurt the city has caused her. But with an unreliable thieving crew, hunters closing in, and her past bearing down upon her, failure looks more likely. And if she fails, she’ll never find peace again.
The Thunder Heist by Jed Herne was published October 2020 by Undergrove Press.
This novel comes with an interesting setting, one I had not considered before, and that makes it kind of cool to explore. Our heroine Kef is a swashbuckling, take-no-prisoners, strong woman, who assembles a team of operatives along the way to pull off the mission. Kind of like an Oceans Eleven on the actual ocean.
The book has some internal illustrations, also by Herne. That's really kind of cool for him to do. The end notes suggest a sequel will be coming down the road in the future. I will definitely check it out when it does.
