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!… (mere)

Great book. Character development progressing nicely. Next book already on hold at the library. ( )

A fair old adventure romp but no real surprises and not really any progression of any of the characters since the first novel. I think the world, the overall plot and direction and or the characters need to develop a lot more as the series continues for it to be worthwhile. You could skim read several pages and not really miss anything - something which I never normally do.

It's not a bad story and it kept me reading but it's a Saturday morning cartoon and I really want a bit more from a nearly 500 page novel that is the part of (at least) a trilogy). ( )

The Black Lung Captain is the second fantasy/steampunk (sort of) tale of the Ketty Jay airship and it's misfit crew. This is much better than the first book - more character development, lovely world building, more action, more surprises and lots of fun swashbuckling adventure. The story is self-contained but it is best to read Retribution Falls first. ( )

Take everything good from Retribution Falls, amplify it and add what was missing, and this is the result. All the questions I had at the end of Retribution Falls regarding the Manes and Jez's connection to them were answered. More worldbuilding was present, including glimpses into Sammie culture, an island populated by primitives, and of course more insight into the Manes.

Harkins and Pinn get more development this time around. Malvery is the only one left out in this regard, though he does impact the rest of the crew. I'm hoping Frey learned his lesson this time around, because getting backstabbed by Trinica can play itself out quickly if that keeps happening.

The Black Lung Captain is still has the fun swashbuckling adventure of the first book, with both darker and more humorous moments. The new villain is more brutal and better characterized. In between the more intense actions scenes, we get Harkins overcoming some of his fears and Pinn dealing with romance issues. Still like the first, there's still more to build on, particularly what we learned about the Awakeners. ( )

I really enjoyed this - more even than I did the first one. Having the melodramatic backstory already revealed has somehow dulled the edges of it, and this was just a rollicking good time, with some wonderful deepening of the characters and dynamics we already know and love. Numerous laugh-out-loud-on-the-train moments, and a couple genuine have-to-stop-reading-laughing-too-hard passages. I am delightfully whelmed. ( )
