The Jinn's Lure - Mike Hoornstra - Bog

Captain Surov is a career Diaxophan navy man. He is a man with nerves of steel, and is capable of calming an angry crowd with his stoic presence. He is a man skilled at negotiating peace between the most hostile of peoples. And he has just been selected for the mission of a lifetime. He has been asked to explore Prazdny - an unexplored continent with a reputation for dark practices, mythological creatures, and death. Surov is a man of ambition who is determined to do what nobody believes can be done. But as the expedition spirals further and further into peril, Surov insists on moving ahead at all costs, causing his crew to rightly wonder... has his ambition become blind arrogance?
