Claimed (The Flash Gold Chronicles, #4)
“Cedar kept his eyes on their surroundings as they rolled up to the first claims along Bonanza Creek on Kali’s SAB—self-automated bicycle. It rumbled and clanked over the gravel, navigating the terrain without trouble. She had made a few improvements to it since their last outing and promised it would take more than airship pirates to derail them again.
Complex systems of wooden chutes and troughs lined the hills where the trees had been cut back. Farther from the water, tents, shacks, and one-r...oom log cabins had been built, but all of the people in sight were by the creek, working hard to pan and shovel water and gravel. In the distance, plumes of smoke promised claims with more sophisticated steam-powered mining equipment.
“Perhaps we should halt your bicycle, hide it in the trees, and approach people via less... sophisticated means,” Cedar said.
The group of men working the first claim had already turned curious heads toward the chugs and clanks of the SAB.
“Less sophisticated?”MoreLess
