THE ROOK - Vol. Three

THE ROOK Vol. Three
By Barry Reese
Wild Cat Books
168 pages

He’s back, Atlanta’s own original pulp hero as created by Barry Reese, in another collection of six very exciting new adventures. The fun of Reese’s creation is how he is constantly pairing his beak-nosed avenger with classic pulp heroes from the golden days of the pulps. In this volume the Rook teams up with the Black Bat and criminologist Ascott Keane to take on the villainy of the red-garbed Dr.Satan.

Although the stories stand individually, they do form a narrative chain and in this volume the Rook takes on the growing threat of Hitler’s new super soldiers, each with his own unique scientifically altered abilities. But it is his confrontations with Dr.Satan that proved to me the most of fun this third outing. Reese clearly has fun with how he handles these old time baddies, giving each an obsessive drive to succeed in whatever their nefarious plans might be. They jump off the page and are truly part of the charm of his fiction.

There’s also plenty of action in the way of gun fights and knock-down, battering slug-fests between the minions of evil and the Rook and his own colorful allies. With this volume, Reese is three for three in the win column. His prose gets leaner and more confident with each new story he weaves, the sign of a real talent. Here’s hoping there are a lot more Rook adventures coming our way.

SEASON OF MADNESS

SEASON OF MADNESS (A Doctor Watson Adventure) by Aaron Smith

Airship 27 Productions and Cornerstone Book Publishers are thrilled to announce the release of a new novel starring Sherlock Holmes’ own beloved companion, Dr. Watson. This is the official sequel to the bestselling Sherlock Holmes – Consulting Detective, released earlier this year.

“After the overwhelming success of our Sherlock Holmes anthology, we knew bringing out a Dr. Watson book was a natural follow-up,” said Airship 27 editor, Ron Fortier. “Aaron Smith has turned in grand mystery, one we know Holmes fans will really enjoy.”

When a group of men and women throughout London begin exhibiting strange psychotic behavior, Dr. John Seward, from the Dracula affair, is brought into the case. Faced with a mystery beyond his realm of experiences, he turns to Sherlock Holmes’ trusted companion, Dr. Watson, for help. Together these two men of science must uncover the riddle behind a white powder drug with the ability to drive people mad before the entire population is infected.

An original, never before published mystery set against the backdrop of Victorian England by a master storyteller. Suspense and adventure await on every corner as two of literature’s most famous characters join forces to unravel a…SEASON OF MADNESS.

This book also contains a special bonus feature. THE ELECTRIC SHARK (A Hound-dog Harker Adventure). Introducing Quincy Harker of Her Majesty’s Secret Service in the first of a brand new adventure series. Harker and his friends face danger on the high seas as a long lost ship of scientific marvels returns to challenge all of mankind.

With interior illustrations by Pedro Cruz and a cover by Rob Davis and Shane Evans, SEASON OF MADNESS is another suspense filled Victorian thriller brought to you by

New Green Lama anthology released!

Airship 27 Productions and Cornerstone Book Publishers are thrilled to launch their latest pulp anthology; The Green Lama, Master of the Mystics Arts.

Created by Kendal Foster Crossen back in 1940 for Double Detective Magazine, the character was intended to be competition for Street & Smith’s Shadow title. When wealthy young socialite, Jethro Dumont traveled to Tibet, it was in search of enlightenment and purpose for his life. These he found plus a very rare and unique talent for the mystic arts. Empowered by powerful, arcane abilities, he has set forth on a new and bolder path, one of truth and justice. With his Buddhist sensibilities, Jethro Dumont became the most unique and memorable pulp hero of them all, The Green Lama.

In order to protect his identity, Dumont created a second false persona, that of Buddhist Dr. Pali. Aided by young starlet Jean Farrell and Detective Caraway, the The Green Lama thrilled readers young and old in both his pulp and comic book adventures.

Now he returns in three all new adventures written by today’s action-adventure scribes,

Kevin Noel Olson, Adam Garcia and Peter Miller. From the mountain tops of hidden Tibet to the streets of New York and the glitter of Hollywood, journey with this classic pulp icon as he once more battles the wicked in defense of the weak and innocent.

Features twelve new black and white illustrations by Jay Piscopo with a cover by Mike Fyles. Edited by Ron Fortier with designs by Rob Davis. “Om Mani Padme Hum.”

SHERLOCK HOLMES - Consulting Detective

A NEW SHERLOCK HOLMES COLLECTION!

Airship 27 Prod., and Cornerstone Book Publishers are very excited to announce the release of their newest title, SHERLOCK HOLMES, CONSULTING DETECTIVE Vol. One.

Victorian England, a time of historical significance as the world was poised expectantly for the coming wonders and terrors of the new century. Amidst this atmosphere of anticipation and intrigue, one man emerged as a beacon of logic and cold, calculating reason in an unsettling time: Mr. Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective. Now he returns in five brand new mysteries by four of today’s finest writers.

A famous soccer player is found dead in the club house. An unidentified stowaway is murdered aboard a U.S. Navy warship, while another man is found asphyxiated in an empty, locked room. These are several of the twisted puzzles challenging the Baker Street sleuth as he once again takes up the hunt on the fog ridden streets of London accompanied, as always, by his faithful ally, Dr.Watson.

Writers Aaron Smith, Andrew Salmon, Van Allen Plexico and I.A. Watson have set forth exciting new mysteries done in the traditional style of the original Holmes stories by his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There are no space aliens here nor howling werewolves, simply good old fashion whodunits. So arm yourself for danger and all manner of villainy as once again, the game is afoot!

This premier volume features a dramatic cover by artist Mark Maddox, with interior illustrations and design by Rob Davis. Edited by Airship 27 Prod. founder, Ron Fortier.
“Sherlock Holmes is clearly the most beloved fictional character ever created,” Fortier offered in discussing the new book. “We’ve assembled a collection of five terrific stories we are sure will entertain Holmes fans around the world.”

Airship 27 Productions produces new pulp novels and anthologies featuring classic pulp heroes. Their publisher is Cornerstone Book Publishers of New Orleans and their titles are available though all major book distributors. Airship 27, pulp fiction for a new generation!

Retro Airship 27

Hi Pulp Factory followers. Thought you'd all get a kick out of seeing Mark Maddox's wonderful redesign of our Airship 27 logo. Mark recently completed the cover to our latest anthology and suggested this retro-take because it better suited the star of the book. Rob and I couldn't agree more and voila. Although it will not replace our dirigible logo on most of our titles, those that fall into this period frame will have it. Thanks ever, Mark.
It really is sweet.

ANNOUNCING THE PULP FACTORY AWARDS

ANNOUNCING THE PULP FACTORY AWARDS

For the past two years, pulpwriter/editor Ron Fortier has been moderating the Yahoo Pulp group known as the Pulp Factory. It is currently made up of thirty-six members, among them writers, artists and devoted pulp fans. Recently the group decided it was high time to shed a public light on the resurgence of new pulp fiction and art that has exploded across the literary field.

With the advent of such companies as Moonstone Books, Age of Adventure, Black Coat Press, Airship 27 Prod., Wild Cat Books and Altus Press to name a few, there have been hundreds of new pulp short stories and dozens of original pulp novels released in the past few years to warrant serious attention and support. Yet the older pulp groups and organizations, some of whom do sponsor award programs, continue to recognize only past creators and ignore these talented newcomers who are revitalizing the entire pulp community. The Pulp Factory Awards were inaugurated to publicly support, encourage and applaud the creation of new pulp fiction and art.

There will be four separate awards handed out annually; Best New Pulp Short Story, Best New Pulp Novel, Best New Pulp Interior Illustrations, and Best New Pulp Cover Art. Starting in Jan. of 2010, the members of the Pulp Factory will nominate candidates in the four categories and then, after a final ballot is determined, cast their vote. Winners will be notified and public announcements made. Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention promoter, Doug Ellis, was thrilled and delighted to offer the 2010 Windy City show as the venue for the first ever Pulp Factory Awards presentation. The physical award is a small statue in the shape of interconnecting gears with a pen embedded into them; the pen symbolizing both a writing quill and drawing pencil. (See accompanying sketch.)

In making this announcement, Fortier wanted it made absolutely clear that the Yahoos Pulp Factory group is not affiliated with any one publishing company and all its members are freelancers who have been published by multiple outfits. All new pulp fiction and art published in 2009, regardless of the source, will be eligible for these awards. "All of our members are extremely excited about this program and anxious to get it under way," he said happily in a recent interview. "We think this is a good thing for all of pulpdom."

Any person or group wanting more information on The Pulp Factory Awards is asked to contact Fortier directly at (Airship27@comcast. net). They are very receptive to any positive support in this new venture.

Their adventures are the stuff of legends.

"This new, updated special edition contains:
• The completely re-edited and rewritten Captain Hazzard book "Python Men of the Lost City" by Ron Fortier to include new chapters not included in the 1938 book!
