Fredrick Penn and the Unexpected Opportunity #989707

Fredrick Penn is used to running away. Usually, he's running from Luther, the school bully who has made his life in the American Imperial Colonies miserable. But when a mysterious officer from the Royal Imperial Guard recruits Fredrick for a prestigious military academy, Fredrick thinks he is finally running toward something great. He is wrong.

Midway across the continent, Fredrick’s luxury airship is hijacked by sky pirates. Faced with a choice between captivity or the crew, Fredrick and his friend Magnolia make a shocking decision: they join the pirates.

But the skies are crowded with enemies. When a rival pirate captain kidnaps Luther, Fredrick’s new life is thrown into chaos. Now, to prove he isn't the coward Luther always said he was, Fredrick must infiltrate a slave auction on the lawless island of Alcatraz. His mission? To rescue the very boy who tormented him.
