About this listen
Airship Lies is a steampunk/Western anthology containing five stories from the Age of Wonder, ranging from the Old West to the wilderness beyond the frontier to the very edge of space itself.
Pressure: In a world where men have begun their conquest of space in rickety, steam-powered spaceships called Fultons, a desperate freight crew struggles to make an impossible deadline.
The Leash: A boy gets caught up in a storm and finds himself the unwelcome guest of the pirate crew of the legendary dirigible, the Black Dog.
The Ghost in the Barbershop: Frontier town Muddy Creek has always had more than its fair share of weirdness, but nobody expected a ghost to begin haunting Angus McTavish's barbershop.
Plague Ship: When a raid accidentally brings a nasty virus aboard the pirate airship Coyote, mutinous thoughts surface, and family members face off against each other.
Rabbit Stones: All Gordon wanted to do was explore the wilderness and make maps, but after he is robbed and left for dead, he must decide whether he is the sort of man cut out for revenge.

Pressure.
I was getting into this story and wondering what else was going to happen when it abruptly ended. I must admit I did rewind slightly to see if I stopped listening and missed it, nope straight onto the next story. So other than the ending I liked this one.
I spaceship captain risks the life and limbs of his crew when he takes on a job to fly around the world in a short amount of time. They are up against the clock with an under staffed crew, on a space ship that has seen better day and heading into a meteor storm. Can the Fultons make it on time?
The Leash
I think this one was my favourite.
When a families small holding keeps getting attacked the there cattle stolen or killed, the son volunteers to man the hot air balloon to sound the alarm. Rather than spend his days board waiting for something to happen he writes stories to entertain his sister when he returns home. So caught up in his writing he misses a thunder storm and gets captured by air pirate's. Can be prove it is worth keeping him alive or will be be made to take a very long walk off a short Plank?I
The Ghost in the Barbershop
This was fun
A barber is chased out of his shop by a screaming ghost. To afraid to return he spends the night in the local jail. When the sheriff suggest they seek advice from a traveling fortune teller the men believe they have solved there ghostly problem.
Plague Ship
I think this was my least favourite and could have been better if it had been a longer story, with the author giving you more background story.
After a raid the crew of the pirate airship the Coyote start getting sick, including the captain. Leave a brother and sister fighting over who is in charge. The one thing they do agree is they need medicine. The sister thinks they should just take it and any treasures they fancy in the process. The brother believes they should make a deal and offer a fair price so they can turn and do further business. Who will come out on top?
Rabbit Stones
This book is very different to the rest.
Gordon thought he was going to die when he is robbed, left in the dessert best with no food or water and only a dead horse for company. Until a kindly stranger un-ties him and let's him travel with her on her journey. They both come from two very different worlds, he is from the modern world were money and revenge rules the head. She has grown up in the dessert and believes in a gentler world where magic and nature combine. Can they teach each a better way to live?
I liked the narrator. With give stories he had a number of characters to give a voice to but somehow they did sound different.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
