Learn About TICKER
When Penny Farthing nearly dies, brilliant surgeon Calvin
Warwick manages to implant a brass “Ticker” in her chest, transforming her into
the first of the Augmented. But soon it’s discovered that Warwick killed dozens
of people as he strove to perfect another improved Ticker for Penny, and he’s
put on trial for mass murder.
On the last day of Warwick’s trial, the Farthings’ factory
is bombed, Penny’s parents disappear, and Penny and her brother, Nic, receive a
ransom note demanding all of their Augmentation research if they want to see
their parents again. Is someone trying to destroy the Farthings...or is the
motive more sinister?
Desperate to reunite their family and rescue their research,
Penny and her brother recruit fiery baker Violet Nesselrode,
gentleman-about-town Sebastian Stirling, and Marcus Kingsley, a young army
general who has his own reasons for wanting to lift the veil between this world
and the next. Wagers are placed, friends are lost, romance stages an ambush,
and time is running out for the girl with the clockwork heart.
Let the Scavenger Hunt BEGIN
To celebrate the Kindle First digital launch of TICKER by Lisa Mantchev, the
Farthing family would like to loan you your very own Vitesse motorized
high-wheeled bicycle and messenger bag. Venture out into the city of Bazalgate
to see the sights and retrieve six items necessary to celebrate with Penny and
her friends. When you are done, remit the list for a chance to win your very
own Kindle Paperwhite customized with the TICKER cover!
Contest open to US residents. Email entries to lisa@lisamantchev.com
with the subject line “TICKER Paperwhite Giveaway”. Deadline for entry is midnight
PST on November 15th. Winner will be announced here on November 16th.
THE FLYING FORTRESS
Any rejoinder I might have made evaporated with the clouds
as the Flying Fortress came into view. Sunlight glinted off white columns and
sleek glass architecture. Smaller satellite buildings clustered around a
singularly imposing main structure, like chicks to a mother hen. Under it all,
turbines produced the necessary amount of thrust to keep everything aloft. I
hadn’t any idea what the power source might be, nor could I fathom how Marcus’s
engineers achieved a nearly clean burn, but the utter lack of emissions meant
that the air around the Fortress was cold water sipped from a crystal goblet, a
far cry from Bazalgate’s soot-smudged tankard. I adjusted my goggles and leaned
as far out of the SkyDart as my lap belt allowed.
Item to retrieve : set of Ferrum Viriae bracelets
ONWARD to adventure, glory and teatime!
