Thunderbolt Frontier

Thunderbolt Frontier
A Steampunk Western by Philip Stengel

In the frontier town of Iron Gulch, justice is forged from brass, grit, and vengeance.

Sheriff Eliza Kane once ruled the skies as a decorated Sky-Marshal. But after the fall of the airship Icarus and the loss of her arm, she's been grounded-rebuilt in steam and steel, watching over a town that sits on the edge of chaos. When a charming inventor unveils a device capable of drawing lightning from the sky, Eliza hopes it's just another grifter's gimmick.

She's wrong.

The machine is stolen by Caleb Redd, a fanatical warlord riding a thunder-powered crusade. What begins as a raid becomes a declaration of war-and Eliza finds herself chasing a weaponized storm across the Dust Plains, joined by a guilt-ridden scientist, a silent scout, and her own haunted past.

As aether-tech, prophecy, and rebellion collide, Iron Gulch's survival hinges on one truth: sometimes justice rides a six-shooter. Sometimes it rides lightning.
