Summary

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.

Steampunk awesomeness

It's so addictive, the story has kept me on the edge of my seat though it's entirety. Can't wait for the prequel.

I did enjoy listening to Craig Bowled

I found this book had intriguing plots, great characters.
We have a bacteria thay has been released and eats plastic that destroys almost all modern gadgets. So making Britain go back to steam engines. oh so much going on . A great plot.

OMG so witty and so great!

When I first read the summary the first thing I thought of was an old show called the adventures of Harry our lime with Orson Welles. As I started listening I could tell I wasn’t far off. While the US is trying to make Britain the 54th state and Britain limps along their only hope is Harry Lampeter in that sentence by itself isn’t scary, but once you know harry you see what the problem is. He is constantly making mistakes but he always seems to come out smelling like roses. Even if you don’t like military type stories you still love this book. Not to mention the great narration by Craig bowls. There was a lot of dead pan and I thought he set the tone nicely I found myself laughing out loud more than once. This is a book I highly recommend and although it is a quick read if we’re lucky the author will bestow us with a Second book.

OMG! Hopefully our future will be different!

It's a nice small easy-going story.
It's a good reading for a on the move listening, as it does not require absolute concentration.
It's an idea of a scary future...
But who knows???!
The narrative and the narrator voice are great.

Very enjoyable

Enjoyed listening to this humourous futuristic novel. Which may well turn out not to be all fiction. Nicely narrated in English. Some places are local to me, which only added to the charm

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

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.

good book, well narrated

I enjoy steampunk books and this is a great example. at the beginning it explains how the world went back to Victorian times with a very valid example of what might happen. after that the story flows well and the characters are very solid. I thoroughly enjoyed the story.
