i've finished reading Retribution Falls and now i know that that thing on the cover is supposed to be an airship. i must say that i'll seek out the sequels and read them as well (eventually) as i really became enchanted with the characters as well as becoming engrossed with the story line and also really appreciated the author's ability to meld it all together into an interesting book
i'm just starting to now read gladiator by philip wylie
