Clarity

Delaney Syper, smuggler captain of the aeroskiff Clarity, is interested in only two things; pulling enough jobs to keep his ship in the air and his crew more or less happy, and staying out of trouble. When he is hired by a local crime ring to transport a mysterious foreigner and his undisclosed cargo deep into the wild Interior Territories of Saeloum, Captain Syper finds these two interests competing. On the one hand, the job sounds like a recipe for trouble, exactly the sort he strives to avoid; on the other, he really needs the money.
It doesn't take Syper long to realise he should have followed gut instead of greed. Accepting the job will plunge he and his motley crew of thieves and misfits into a maelstrom of betrayal and rebellion, and bring the captain face to face with the violent past he has tried hard to put behind him. Navigating a dangerous trail that will pit them against Federal law officers, brutal mercenaries, and a colony of mutant outcasts known as Afflicted, the crew of the Clarity will quickly come to realise that the greatest threat of all may already be on board...
