I didn't read the sample but not too bad a set up. Smashmouth seems to do a good job with that.

For my tastes though the cover seems a bit overly bright and the main title doesn't seem to fit with the Zeppelin part but hey its selling or will.

I forgot to mention an interesting world too. A flying weapon that breaths fire as well as fires a machine gun. Even though I'm not sure about that seat hanging underneath like that. It better have some better than normal connections.

Flying weapon? I thought it was a dragon. Cool story.

That's what I meant.


As in jet fighters being a flying weapon even if this one has a mind of its own, breaths fire and is organic.

Of course come to think of it that could be an interesting idea. Growing jet fighters with AIs.

The AI has been used before, not that many years ago in fact but those were manufactured fighters. I wonder how you would harvest said "crops" and if the AI is grown along with it? Baby fighters running around all over the place or people sitting next to them as the grow in the ground reading the "Act of War" to the little ones.

Oops, sorry to sort of taken over this thread, but as I sort of said before yours is a cool sounding story. Tell us when you get your first sells-downloads.

thanks, all. This is a story set in 1914. The dragons breath fire but can't get close enough to the Zeppelins to do damage because of the German machine gunners on the Zeps.

That is the gist of the story.

How do the dragons overcome the odds?
