WELCOME TO HARD TIMES
Airship 27 Productions proudly announces the release of
their 16th and final title of the year; PROHIBITION by Terrence
McCauley.
The year is 1930 and New York is a city on the edge. The
Roaring '20s ended with the Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression is only
beginning. Banks are failing. Companies are closing their doors. Breadlines
grow longer by the day. The only market making money is the black market:
racketeering, rum running, and speakeasies. But when even those vices
begin to weaken, the most powerful gangster on the Eastern Seaboard, Archie
Doyle, sees the writing on the wall. He launches a bold scheme that, if
successful, will secure his empire’s future beyond Prohibition. Beyond even the
Great Depression.
But when a mysterious rival attempts to kill Doyle’s
right hand man, a dangerous turf war begins to brew. With his empire under
attack, Doyle turns to his best gun, former boxer Terry Quinn, for answers.
Quinn must use his brains as well as his brawn to uncover who is behind the
violence and why before Doyle’s empire comes crashing down.
New York based writer Terrence McCauley whips up a fast
paced pulp thriller ripe with Tommy-gun blasting hoods, corrupt cops and deadly
dames in this original novel reminiscent of the classic gangster movies of
old. “This is pure, unadulterated
gangster pulp,” cheers Airship 27 Managing Editor Ron Fortier. “When I first read it, I immediately
found myself thinking of all those great black and white Warner Brother film
classics starring Edward G.Robinson, James Cagney, Humprhey Bogart and George
Raft. McCauley captures the feel and atmosphere of those rambunctious outlaw
days when the mobs were battling each other for control of the Big Apple.”
Beautifully illustrated by Rob Moran who also provides
the cover as colored by Shannon Hall with designs by Rob Davis, PROHIBITION is
a tough-guy blow to the literary gut readers will not soon forget.
