Cloud Riders books in chronological order
Series background & context
The Cloud Riders trilogy begins in a drought-stricken corner of Tornado Alley, where Dom comes from a family of storm chasers. Tornadoes have vanished, crops are failing, and the family diner is struggling. Dom feels caught between loyalty to home and a strong wish to leave, while his friendship with Jules is beginning to change into something more complicated.
Then a twister returns.
An airship emerges from the storm, and Dom learns that the tornado is more than a weather event. It is a doorway between worlds. The people aboard the ship offer him a way out of the life he knows, but their arrival brings secrets and dangers that make staying put impossible. Dom and Jules are pulled into a conflict spanning parallel Earths.
Cloud Riders has the shape of a coming-of-age adventure, but its setting gives it an unusual twist. The dusty, worried world of American storm chasers sits beside a multiverse filled with airships, strange technology, rival powers, and societies shaped by very different histories. Dom has to decide what kind of person he wants to be while learning that his own abilities may matter to far more than his hometown.
The storm is only the beginning.
In Breaking Storm, Dom and Angelique travel through parallel worlds aboard the airship Athena to rescue Jules from Lord Ambra. Their search takes them through places such as Floating City and Hell's Cauldron, while the larger conflict with Hades becomes impossible to avoid. Dom must understand the legacy hidden within the airships and find a way to challenge a system built on domination.
The final novel, Eye of the Storm, brings Dom, Jules, and Angelique into a wider fight to gather the remaining free Cloud Riders. Dom's growing role as a Navigator is central to their hopes, but the cost of the coming battle is high. The trilogy is about loyalty, freedom, and finding courage when the world has suddenly become much larger than expected.
The books work as a complete three-volume story and also serve as an early doorway into Cook's Multiverse Chronicles. Start with Cloud Riders and read in order. Readers can expect fast-moving science-fiction adventure, stormy landscapes, and the appeal of sailing through other worlds in an airship.
