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.

Lots of fun
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.

Inspired
The book is truely inspired the world building for it is extremely simple and very beliveable. Highly recommended to any steampunk lover though the narration sometimes sound abit tinny.

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.

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.

Harry Lampeter is back!
Harry, along with his group of colorful friends and “frenemies” is back! This tale is jam-packed with spies, bombs, and secret meetings!
Roger Ley has a talent for keeping things fresh, in a world where everything is old and rusty!
Craig Bowles narrates the story beautifully. The reader is so deeply immersed in the story, that it feels as if one is sitting right at the table with Shaky Tom and Harry Plotting shenanigans.

Steampunk fun & frolics
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 received a free copy of this book at my request and am voluntarily leaving a review.

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.

Witty alternate future
I recently read an article about plastic eating bacteria, so I felt right at home as the book started. Ley gives an interesting twist on something we're currently hoping will solve our plastic pollution problem. The book is filled with witty quips and lots of references to current events - watch out for these gems in the story. My only criticism is that the story could have included a bit more detail on the whys and the hows - some of the jumps from one scene to the next left me with questions and wondering about possible contradictions.

More good stuff from Harry Lampeter
NOTE: I was given a free copy of this book to review. This has not influenced the honesty of the review.
This book is quite short, containing a series of connected Harry Lampeter anecdotes, but none of them seem too short. If you enjoyed, the first book(s), then you are likely to enjoy this also. Craig Bowles continues to please as narrator.
