Synopsis

Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. The Ketty Jay has been fixed up good as new. They've got their first taste of fortune and fame. And, just for once, nobody is trying to kill them.

Even Trinica Dracken, Frey's ex-fiancée and long-time nemesis, has given up her quest for revenge. In fact, she's offered them a job - one that will take them deep into the desert heart of Samarla, the land of their ancient enemies. To a place where the secrets of the past lie in wait for the unwary.
Secrets that might very well cost Frey everything.

Join the crew of the Ketty Jay on their greatest adventure yet: a story of mayhem and mischief, rooftop chases and death-defying races, murderous daemons, psychopathic golems and a particularly cranky cat.
The first time was to clear his name. The second time was for money. This time, Frey's in a race against the clock for the ultimate prize: to save his own life.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Petrik

4.5/5 stars The Iron Jackal greatly built upon the foundations that have been well-established in the first half of the series. Despite having enjoyed the first half of the quartet, I was getting a bit scared that the fun and enjoyment of the series would start to dwindle in the third and penultimate......more

Goodreads review by Scott

Book 1: 3.75* Book 2: 4.25* Book 3: 4.25* When I started this series I had the preconceived notion that this would be a fun swashbuckling series and while it is it's certainly much more than that.

“Welcome to the crew of Ketty Jay. You ain’t a member till you’ve caused at least one major catastrophe.” At this point, for the reader of the series, Ketty Jay, a hybrid cargo hauler and a combat craft, feels like home and its crew of assorted misfits feels like a family, perhaps not a noble and de......more
