The whole story is told with the same over-the-top British bent to it as the previous two books. As with the last two novels, Myrtle takes over at certain parts to give her perspective on things. What they find is something to rival their Mother, another shaper, but this shaper is hell bent on taking over all of known British space.Most of the story is told from Art's perspective.

This is coupled by the appearance of a strange cloud near the planet. You wouldn't have to read the first two books to enjoy this book, but the first two do add a lot of background story that would make parts of this book more meaningful.A message about "Danger to the known world" is received from the depths of space near Georgium Sidus (also known as Uranus by us more uncouth peoples). I listened to this book on audio book, and it was very well done. Full of funny space travel, dangerous battles, and the wonderful characters that I loved from the first two books. This is the third, and I believe last, book in the Larklight series by Philip Reeve.
