The Fortune Hunters
|
|
|
Ah, The Fortune Hunters. This hodgepodge collection of misfits didn't join up with Nathan solely for the money. If it's possible for pirates to be idealistic, these guys fit the bill. It is a cruel and unfair world: Those who make the laws can be the biggest criminals of them all. Sure, these rogues will take their share of the bounty, but never at the expense of honor or integrity, and never if it means harming the innocent. They're a good bunch, if only a little rough around the edges.

The Pandora
|
|
|
Nathan Zachary served as third officer aboard the airship, Fulcrum, and invited his crew on board . . . then promptly hijacked the ship in midair! Refit for pirate service, and re-christened Pandora (of Greek myth), this formidable lighter-than-air aircraft carrier is bristling with defensive weapons. Nathan and The Fortune Hunters trust this legendary zep to carry them safely to the far corners of the earth in their pursuit of high adventure.
