About this capture

COLLECTED BY

Organization:Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is atarchiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by theWayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Retribution Falls

Retribution Falls (2009)

Frey is the captain of the Ketty Jay, leader of a small, highly dysfunctional band of layabouts. An inveterate womaniser and rogue, he and his gang make a living on the wrong side of the law, avoiding the heavily armed flying frigates of the Coalition Navy. With their trio of ragged fighter craft they run contraband, rob airships and generally make a nuisance of themselves.

So a hot tip on a cargo freighter loaded with valuables seems like a great prospect for an easy heist and a fast buck. Until the heist goes wrong, and the freighter explodes. Suddenly Frey isn’t just a nuisance anymore – he’s public enemy number one, with the Coalition Navy on his tail and contractors hired to take him down.

But Frey knows something they don’t. That freighter was rigged to blow, and Frey has been framed to take the fall. If he wants to prove his innocence, he’s going to have to catch the real culprit. He must face liars and lovers, dogfights and gunfights, dukes and daemons.

It’s going to take all his criminal talents to prove he’s not the criminal they think he is…

Retribution Falls was a bit of a gear change for me. I do quite a lot of dark in my books, and I decided it was time to lighten up and have fun. So that’s what I did, and the result is Retribution Falls – a swashbuckling, action-packed caper starring a group of sarcastic, cynical, wisecracking liars. I was channelling Iron Maiden’s Aces High for the battle scenes, so expect planes with machine guns a-blazing, tipping into screaming dives steep enough to give you a red-out. This is retro-fantasy at a thousand miles an hour with the fun turned up to maximum. As you can tell, I’m rather excited about it.

This book is the first of an intended series, but all the books will be standalones – you won’t have to have read book one to read book two, and there will be no cliffhanger endings, thank you very much. The second – as yet untitled as I write this – will be with you in 2010. And I can’t wait to get writing it…

Update: Retribution Falls was shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke award 2010, which was hyper awesome to the max +3. It didn’t win though, otherwise I’d have made it to +5.
