Alien World. Completely alien... and yet so familiar. The world of Flying and Floating Islands, the world of steam airships and pointy-eared non-humans. It is dominated by iron, steam and coal, hatred, passion and... The third, Alien Force. It carries airships upward, splashes out like fiery jelly from the suspended cocoons of shock ornithopters, makes the limbs of assault arachnids and exoskeletons move, seeps into the brains of operators of tactical tablets and systems controls... This is magic. New adventures of heroes already familiar from the first book. While some are trying to help their relatives master more advanced earthly weapons, others, those who remained on the Flying Island, find themselves in the epicenter of a cunningly twisted intrigue. And neither one nor the other suspects that a new, powerful force is about to intervene in the game, equally hostile to both sides of the conflict. Fierce battles on the ground and in the air, steel against steel, magic against magic, deceit against a sense of honor... the war continues!
