The Book

Maynard Trigg and The Creature Beneath The Veil is the first book in the Maynard Trigg franchise."Maynard Trigg lives carefree in the muddied slums of Carthage Skyport making mischief at the expense of his loving father, his friends, and teachers. But when a pirate appears, claiming to have been sent to protect Maynard from a murderous creature, he is thrust into a life of magic, theft, and deceit. A life, he promised himself, he would never pursue."Taken from the official Maynard Trigg Website:"Maynard Trigg was an unlikely creation. The dark, post-apocalyptic, sky-bound world of the novel was born in David's high school years. He would write passages of the story during breaks at his part-time job flipping burgers. And he kept writing, and writing, into his university experience and later, refining the concepts, all the while generating more and more content.""The book follows the titular Maynard Trigg and his adventure as he's launched from his regular life into an adventure that will take him further than he could've imagined.""Maynard starts the story living atop a great skyport, a floating city in opensky full of mud, tumble-down houses, and dark corners. When an old family friend and pirate arrives, Maynard is thrown from his regular life, pursued by a mysterious creature. He must flee aboard an immense ferry to escape the creature but quickly learns the ferry is full of thieves, politicians, liars, and guards more dangerous than any monster."
