Cello's Gate

Captain Grey and his crew of sky pirates have a reputation for doing the impossible. From breaking into high-security military research facilities to conning the iCity elite-there isn't a lock they can't pick, a safe they can't break, or a hidden treasure they can't find. Until now.

Returning from a harrowing heist involving a neon battery and a trash shoot, Grey and his crew are approached by Dalia, the immortal daughter of the infamous ArchGovernor-and she has an offer.

The job? Locate and steal the Stones of Indigo-seven fabled rocks invested with godlike power. The search for the first stone is a bonified treasure hunt, guided by an ancient map to a deadly, uncharted island that's protected by a mysterious guardian. The score? One million credits per crew member, per stone. The catch? Well, that's where things get a little complicated.

The stones don't exist. They're a myth. A bedtime story told to little pirates to make them believe that power and wealth are attainable if you just work hard enough.

And to make matters infinitely worse, Grey's never trusted immortals, and Dalia's definitely hiding something. Something bad. And if they don't figure out what it is, it might cost them their lives.

About the Author

I think you're supposed to write these in third person to give the illusion that you're so popular that someone else wrote it for you. So, here we go...

Maurice Africh is an ex-theater kid with a passion for tasty food, semi-luxurious travel, reality competition television shows, D&D, and fantasy novels. He currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina with his beautiful wife, Rachel, and his cute, albeit cranky chihuahua, Toby. He also hopes you liked this book because he's sort of banked his entire reputation on it. Plus, he's already writing the next one.
