A Curse on the Cygnus

The HMAS Cygnus: An air transport operating under British Imperial Airways leaves Cairo Egypt for England. Among its cargo are the treasures of an ancient Egyptian tomb. An otherwise routine voyage is plunged into horror and mystery with the sudden and brutal death of one of the passengers. Is it a simple case of murder or is there a darker and eternal curse cast upon the airship. For Royal Defence Service agents Colonel Ian Grey and Lady Victoria Dallas solving this mystery may not be enough to end the curse on the Cygnus. Kevin M. Houghton lives in Northern Virginia with his wife, their son and three active cats. “A Curse on the Cygnus,” is the first story in the Steampire series set in an alternate Victorian era world of Steampunk.
