    AFTER TWO YEARS OF FIGHTING TO SURVIVE...

    And with the search for their home finally making progress, the captain and crew of the great bronze airship, Kubla Khan, are almost daring to hope.

     

    But the Miasmic Expanse is a treacherous place, where even the smallest mistake can be fatal.

     

    Now with their home almost in sight, a simple accident nearly ends it all.

     

    After almost being blinded by an experiment that backfires, Lieutenant Commander Hall escapes with his life. But finds himself on a world, where all that remains of humanity are the ruins of their cities and the monsters which killed them.

      A powerful thunderstorm rages over New York City sending its citizens dashing through the torrential rain..   Between the lightning flashes a strange craft of huge proportions suddenly appears, a metallic airship bristling with weapons. But the ship is clearly damaged, with large holes in its sides through which twisted metalwork protrudes, and countless shattered windows that reveal a dark and lifeless interior.   However, despite the appearance of this great vessel, the captain and some of the crew cling to life, but this is not the city or the world they left, dispatched on a desperate mission to stop an enemy of unimaginable ferocity.   Where has this ship sailed from, and how can her captain and crew find their way home, when the craft which has been their home now lies in ruins, and when the enemy that has nearly destroyed them appears to have followed them to this new world, which looks and feels so like their own.   Through Glass Darkly is the first book in the Glass Darkly Diesel-punk series: - Through Glass Darkly - By a Blue and Crimson Light - A Shadow on the Sky   Set in the mid 1930s the Glass Darkly series follows the adventures of Captain Howard Hughes and the crew of military airship Kubla Khan, as they travel into a strange other dimension known as the Miasmic Expanse, trying to find their way home. The Glass Darkly series is an alternative history science fiction story, suitable for most ages. It features fictionalized versions of real historic individuals and places, but is purely a work of fiction.

      Betrayed and brought to the brink of destruction. . .  The captain and crew of the great bronze airship Kubla Khan have finally managed to repair their ship and heal the crew enough to get back to their mission.   But in that deadly place they call the Miasmic Expanse, Captain Howard Hughes now discovers the path home is lost. The only world they know how to find, is the one they have just left.   Finding their way home could take years, but as the crew begin their search, they discover another world, a third copy of the world they call home. But unlike the world they have just left, this one has almost been overwhelmed by the creatures, and some of its inhabitants are desperate enough to try anything in order to save themselves.   Can Captain Hughes and the crew of the Kubla Khan help to save this world from the creatures which have so nearly overrun it, or will the lies and deceit of a few desperate people lead to the destruction of the Kubla Khan for a second time.   By a Blue and Crimson Light is the second volume in the 'Glass Darkly' diesel-punk series.

    Peter Knyte

    Peter was born and grew up in North Staffordshire, England, but now lives a bit further north in West Yorkshire, where by day he passes himself off as a mild mannered office worker, while by night he explores whole worlds of imagination as an intrepid writer. When not tapping away at my keyboard he spends his time gardening, walking, rock climbing, snowboarding and cooking. As for his writing, his time is currently divided between three projects: - The Flames of Time trilogy - A three volume vintage styled action adventure story set in the 1930s. Featuring hidden temples, lost secrets and mysterious religious organisations. Set against the backdrop of West Africa, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, Istanbul and India - the third and final part of which is out in mid 2018. - The Glass Darkly series - A Retro science-fiction story set in a multiverse plagued by creatures form another dimension, where the characters from a world like our own, but not quite our own, explore the strange dimension between worlds in order to try and save their own world from a mysterious and potent invader. The first book 'Through Glass Darkly' and the second 'By a Blue and Crimson Light' are out now. - The Ghosts of Winter - The first tale within a period ghost story series (more H.P. Lovecraft or Algernon Blackwood than Stephen King). When the grainy photograph of a remote high-mountain valley comes into the hands of young wanderer, it ignites an inexplicable fascination within him to find the location shown in the picture, even though it is rumoured to be a dangerous place never touched by the warmth of summer, and which holds traces of antiquity and dreams of what once were. Also available for free to newsletter subscribers. For more information about me and writing visit: www.knytewrytng.com In summary Peter likes his vintage settings, from when the world was perhaps a slightly more innocent and stylish place, and writing stories that make you think. . . just a little bit.
