<p>participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge</p> <p>Sixty odd years after a portal to another world is discovered in central Africa by a British force during the Mahdiyya uprising some time shortly after the fall of Khartoum, cities and towns dot the floating land masses of New Victoria.</p> <p>But a dark secret from Earth's past, long thought destroyed has infiltrated this new/old land. The Society of the Black Sun believe that this world is, in fact, Hyperborea, and their rightful domain. They mean to have it back.</p> <p>This is the story of a farm boy who yearns to be more, and of his family. Boring, hidebound, straightlaced. Or, so he believes.</p> <p>When the Black Sun attack his floating island home in an advanced, experimental airship, Darnan Palanna will discover, not only who they are, but who he is meant to be.</p> <p>Raiders of the Black Sun is an alternate history tale...</p> <p>In a dieselpunk setting...</p> <p>Laced heavily with pulp, which was a particular type of episodic adventure fiction popular from the early 20th century up until, probably, the early '90s.</p> <p>While it's a portal story, it's not isekai. Everybody who goes there goes there on purpose. There's a train.</p>
