Brimstone Slipstream - Weber, Matt

. .

Résumé :
It's the eve of the biggest dragon race in the city of Yemareir. Zaya Shearwater and her wife, Kiriki, have spent the year shooting up the rankings, and now they're favored to win. But how did a team of women from Yemareir's roughest precincts become the favorites in a sport where most winners buy their victories? Doctor of Journalism Shenireen Agama wants to know. Through interviews with Zaya, Kiriki, and the ground crew that's become their family, she begins to weave a story. Its threads are love, desperation, biology, and magic - all bound together with the early history of Yemareir, where Zaya and Kiriki's ancestors fled centuries ago to escape the pogroms of a mad king, and where the colonists resettling the ruins of an ancient city have just discovered that it is home to dragons... Brimstone Slipstream is the opening novella in the Streets of Flame Quartet, to be followed by Windburn Whiplash, Heatstroke Heartbeat, and Wildfire Riptide....
