The Resistance takes to the clouds aboard the Skyshaker, the newly-completed airship aimed at dominating the heavens, when the land far below has become a hellish place ruled by demons.

General Rommond fixes his attention on the city of Blackout, the old capital of the world, controlled by the Treasury, who are themselves controlled by the ruthless Regime. That centre of the old civilised world will either shift allegiance to the Resistance, or it'll burn to the ground.

From sky pirates and mob bankers to the feared mechanical men of the Iron Guard, Jacob and his new family of freedom fighters will face greater challenges than they've ever faced before. As bombs drop from the sky like the iron tears of gods, there are other revelations that'll shake the foundations of everyone struggling to save humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jacob and Whistler are by far my favorite characters and I still find myself questioning Taberah

Where do I even begin?
The Resistance has shown they can wage battle and come out stronger whether by land or sea and in this installment, they take to the sky in hopes of surviving and reaching Blackout. They are in luck, because Blackout is the city in which Jacob was raised and where he conducted his business.
A new battle rages in the city of Blackout. Jacob, Whistles and Sousa are sent to stabotage structures that can aid the Regime. Some things go in the favor of the Resistance while other plans go awry.
You won't want to miss out on all the action and surprises this book has to offer.
Jacob and Whistler are by far my favorite characters and I still find myself questioning Taberah. This time around my understanding and compassion is solidified when it comes to Rommond.
My hope for the Resistance is stronger than before and I'm sure the 4th book won't disappoint!

As thrilling and engrossing as the first two books in this epic! The conclusion of "Skyshaker" had me both happy and sad at the same time. It's so delicious to read something that immerses me as a consumer so completely. As a fan of the Dean F. Wilson's 'Coilhunter' series, reading the first three episodes of GIW is giving me a better appreciation of the world of Altadas. Curse my book budget, need Book 4! I can skip a meal, right?

Formulaic with stereotypes - the only mildly inventive aspect is the heroic male general being in love with another man. I give the author credit, though: he avoided the "gay" stereotype. It's fairly well written, which makes the book readable if somewhat boring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2016
I was given a free copy of this book so that I could give an honest review.

I'll start with the negative (and if you've read my review of Books 1&2 a lot of this will be familiar - the author wrote this book before I gave my feedback on his first two - I don't know if it would have made any difference if he had), as I have to start somewhere. I found the description of various scenes to be somewhat lacking, I didn't really get a good vision of the places described. Of course (SPOILER ALERT - come on, the cover is of an airship this isn't going to be much of a spoiler) the interior of an airship won't have that much description available to it so this didn't show as much as in Book 1. One thing to remember is the overall bleakness of this dystopian world so this is a reflection of that and it helps move the story forward more quickly. I did find this Book slower than the first two, except for the end. Once again I also found it to be rather short, again some qualification - I like really long books. Finally for this section something I shall word carefully as it would be a spoiler if said outright. There seems to be a lack of emotional reaction from the main protagonist at the news of the personal development plot twist at the beginning (I'm calling it a plot twist because it was one in Books 1&2) it seems to me there would be more emotion, the protagonist seems more caught up in his own romantic quest, which peters out for sections. This is complicated by a personal circumstance created in book 2 that means he looses focus on this other plot point. It does come back at points in the book but does just seem to disappear at times. That being said it does pop up with a vengeance towards the end causing a major motivation, which contrasts with the plot twist.

On to positives, nicely paced, well imagined with a back story that stands to be explored in future volumes. I was interested to know how the Skyshaker would actually work seeing its function and that I thought everything was steam powered after finishing Book 1. This riddle was easily solved in book 2 by the author by not constraining himself to a strict regime (no pun intended) of steampunk purity. So i was suprised in his return to his roots, but it is due to a real purpose and viable explanation. The book is Steampunk by the way. Think Wild West meets Dystopia meets SciFi meets Fantasy minus the lasers. I haven't read much Steampunk but if this is indicative then the genre has a definite quirky charm.

Plot: Essentially Demons have taken over and run the world into the ground. They maintain control by use of a drug named hope. They are also in control of reproduction, their get is produced but pure humans are generally not. Demon offspring are indistinguishable from humans, for the most part.

Throw in a smuggler caught up in a rebellion, yes I got a Han Solo vibe as well, and a young innocent pursued by the Regime and a beautiful rebel leader. OK the similarities to Star Wars end there. This story follows on from Book 2 and is essentially a journey of motivation and rediscovery rather than from point A to point A and a half because on the way to point B something goes wrong. There is a filling in of some back story, and as is requisite in a rediscovery a re-emergence and revelation. Disparate parts of story arcs start coming together now, presumably for a final battle royal involving the Landshaker (next book in the series).

5.0 out of 5 stars A war on many fronts
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2018

Picking up where Lifemaker left off, this story goes through many changes. More of the back story is explained, battles are fought - both internally and externally, and there are some truly deep passages, showing the capability of the author to create a world that you genuinely care about, and yet raise questions about who the real demons are. This depth was apparent from book one but has been brought to the surface in fine form during the course of this story. There are still light-hearted frolics but the plot is a more involved web of challenged morals and beliefs.

Bring on Landquaker, I'm already getting withdrawal symptoms...

The Resistance battles on, but this time really takes the fight to the enemy instead of relying mainly on defence.

More action, adventure and surprises, some rather unwelcome ones.

More delectable steampunk treasures of General Rommand make their appearance.

An extremely enjoyable dystopian, steampunk fantasy series!
