The Eidlerland Incident
Summary
In January, 1888, the Kaiserreich, with their Dutch allies, have claimed victory in the Boer War and control all of South Africa. Fearing loss of sea access through the Cape of Good Hope, the British Royal Navy has pushed forward research into submersible warfare. Under the command of Ian Rollins, the HMS Thunderbolt has been playing a game of cat-and-mouse with the Kriegsmarine off the Cape, but their tense standoff with the Germans turns unexpectedly to a tense alliance after they are ordered to aid in the rescue of a disaster-stricken German Antarctic expedition. The boat is forced to operate with merely a skeleton crew and to navigate with experimental equipment beneath the ice. Can they even locate the island before the survivors succumb to the frigid land? Rollins must keep his one good eye on his German guests, who is on the ice above him, and on the two technical advisers assigned to the mission, one who has already proven herself a distraction at the best of times. With no way of knowing for sure who is a friend and who, an enemy, can even the famous Commander Claw come out on top this time?

The Ladies' Night Adventure
Summary
Author's note: This short story stands alone but involves characters from the other stories and novels in the Thunderbolt Chronicles. This story takes place after the forthcoming The Pretoria Event, after the crew has returned to England. Four remarkable women plan a night out at an academic soiree. When it is cancelled, they are momentarily at a loss. In Victorian London, there is no respectable establishment that would admit an unescorted lady, or group of ladies, in the evening. But there is one place where such women are welcome: Tuppence Tommy’s, tucked back off Drury Lane. A haven for the discrete, the decadent, and the desperate.

The Pretoria Event
Summary
Ian Rollins has been thrown to the lions, arrested by the German Empire on trumped-up charges of piracy and expecting a death sentence. Just getting to the trial will take all of his strength and determination as he struggles to survive in a damaged dirigible some 20,000 feet in the air. He's forced to use his engineering skill to repair the German airship, not to save his own life, but because the Germans also hold the clever Miss Danjella Tesla, a talented engineer in her own right. The danger is real, the fear near overpowering. But even as he struggles against twisted metal and dizzying height, he has no idea of the horrific menace waiting below.
