About this listen

Darian Frey is down on his luck. He can barely keep his squabbling crew fed and his rickety aircraft in the sky. Even the simplest robberies seem to go wrong. It's getting so a man can't make a dishonest living any more.

Enter Captain Grist. He's heard about a crashed aircraft laden with the treasures of a lost civilisation, and he needs Frey's help to get it. There's only one problem. The craft is lying in the trackless heart of a remote island, populated by giant beasts and subhuman monsters.

Dangerous, yes. Suicidal, perhaps. Still, Frey's never let common sense get in the way of a fortune before. But there's something other than treasure on board that aircraft. Something that a lot of important people would kill for. And it's going to take all of Frey's considerable skill at lying, cheating and stealing if he wants to get his hands on it....

Strap yourself in for another tale of adventure and debauchery, pilots and pirates, golems and daemons, double-crosses and double-double-crosses. The crew of the Ketty Jay are back!

I confess to be somewhat of a Chris Wooding fanboy.
Many years ago I happened across a copy of “Retribution Falls”. They say you should never judge a book by it’s cover but I loved the artwork and had a feeling the tale would be a bit of me!
Anyway, I was correct. I loved the book and proceeded to buy each book of the series. Each one as fun and exciting as the last.
Fantastic plot, amazingly fleshed out characters and lots of fun, danger and excitement along the way.
Recently, I went on a trip to Turkey and was looking for an audiobook. I wasn’t in the mood to get into something too heavy.
Rupert Degas narrated “The name of the wind” and I thought he was fantastic. When I realised he also narrated the Ketty Jay series, my choice was made. I haven’t read the books for years but I decided I’d like to dip back into the world of aerium filled air ships, demon enthralled cutlasses and century knights!
And I’m so glad I did

My favourite series and narrator combined!

I thought that it was a very good performance by the narrator Rupert Degas. I enjoyed the story as well. I found this second book in the Ketty Jay series to be just as strong as the first one.

Brilliant
