About this listen

Urban anarchist Harry Lampeter is employed by MI6 on a casual basis. Modern technology has collapsed, returning the world to the steam age. The war between Scotland and England, is on hold while the United States army of occupation keeps the peace. The Americans are in no hurry to leave, they plan to make Great Britain the 54th State of their Union. Scotland and England eye one another with mistrust and an arms race seems inevitable as the English plan building a fleet of Ironclad warships. Telford Stephenson, an agent of the Scottish Secret Intelligence Service, has stolen a copy of the Ironclad plans, but Harry Lampeter is hot on his trail.

It's a short read, but worth the credit. This second outing of Harry Lampeter beats the first and will leave you wanting more of the world. Set in a changed future, borrowing on the technology of the past Harry seems to have split the difference and bounds through scraps, schemes and intrigues with the loose morals of a 1960s wide-boy on the make. It's fun and though it seems to lag and wander a bit in the middle, the reason for this becomes clear in a strong ending. Would listen again.

Lots of fun

After enjoying the first in this series I was happy to receive a copy of the second audiobook which I listened to while drivng my work van making deliveries. I think I had a smile on my face most of the day while following the antics of Harry & Telford and all the others characters. Plenty of sarcastic & satyrical humour and the idea concerning the House of Lords gets a big thumbs up from me, loved it. A thoroughly enjoyable listen, well written and with a great narrator.

I “read” this story on audible - Craig Bowles, the narrator, brings the story to life in such an excellent way - I found myself having to leave everything (I usually listen to my books while I do some other mundane routine stuff) and listen well. Roger Ley has a vivid imagination yet his futuristic tales sound so believable. What with his characters being so “real” and so very British - I love them and also love the way he mentions real people and historical facts.

If a story is by Roger Ley than it definitely is excellent!
