The giant airborne juggernaut, the recently renamed Liberator is already having problems. The Filthies and the Swanks are supposed to be building a community but there seems to only be discord. The Filthies don’t want to share their newfound power and there is also a saboteur. On top of everything else –they are running out of coal to fly the ship! Then the Liberator is faced with the wrath of the other juggernauts. When things come to a head with the Russian ship, the Filthies decide its time for another revolution! Col is still in love with Riff –but their friendship is in discord as well –especially after his wife comes back into the picture!
Despite my enjoyment of the first book (See My Review here), this second book was a chore to read. The day to day minuscule details of their politics and practicalities were grating. Even when the action picks up, I found myself not really caring about the outcomes. I dreaded the last 400 of 500 pages and that is a lot to dread. This book is not a stand alone and the first book must be read in order to understand it. The first half of the book is so boring there is no way a student will make their way through the second half.
