The promise of this fantasy series is something different, not your standard broth of factory-assembled elves, dragons, sorcerers, necromancers, orcs and dwarves. A vision of a truly different world. Hugh Cook, author of the ten-volume Chronicles of an Age of Darkness series, tries his hand at developing something new in a world which has, in large measure, outworn many of the materials with which it has long amused itself. |

The interventionists, intent on forcing popular democracy upon the archipelago of Chalakanesia, coerce the federal state of Islam Demaxus to hold presidential elections. Heineman Yakaskam Jubiladilia, a candidate in the elections, gets bruised up against the realities of this new-fangled "democracy" stuff, including the outing of a lurid family secret and the first-ever election riot in the city of Lexis. Additionally, by making unwise experiments which relate to their flawed airship techology, experiments which have the potential to catastrophically destabilize local reality, the foreigners are putting the Jubiladilias and their entire community in danger of destruction. As the book opens, we see the diving skills of the Jubiladilias brought into play as they strive to rescue survivors from an airship (in this case, very definitely a heavier-than-air ship) which has crashed and has sunk in local waters. Though no great diver, Heineman finds himself forced to join his family's diving tradition. Reluctantly. But, in the end, heroically. This book is part of a trilogy but is a self-contained novel in its own right, complete with a beginning, a middle and an end. |
