Romulus Buckle and the Luminiferous Aether (The Chronicles of the Pneumatic Zeppelin Book 3) Kindle Edition

I’ve enjoyed this steampunk adventure series very much, and this latest book is no exception. In this one, Romulus Buckle leads a small expedition to Atlantis in an attempt to rescue his sister Elizabeth. She has been prophesied to be the key to winning the war, and he’s sure the underwater city of Atlantis is where he can find her. Of course the Founders are blockading the city with their huge submersibles, so it will take some mercenary assistance to make it through to the city, with not only the Founders to worry about, but undersea guardian creatures as well. Once in the city, Romulus realizes that no one is to be trusted, with fighting among different factions of the Atlanteans only part of the problem. There was plenty of action, not only on the way to the city, but once there, and Romulus and his crew, including the ancient automaton, Penny Dreadful, acquit themselves heroically, as usual. I loved the descriptions of the underwater city, with its luminiferous aether - which not only lights, but powers the whole city. My only complaint is that the story ended with so many questions unanswered and I’ll have to wait for the next installment to find out what happens - to Romulus, his sisters Elizabeth, Serena and Max, Penny Dreadful, and the Grand Alliance. I’ll be waiting impatiently for that next installment, so I hope the author writes quickly.

Well written as always, I am looking forward to the next in the series! Only complaint is now I need to be patient!

I really enjoyed this third installment of romulus buckle, better than the second book, and very close to the initial installment which i consider a must read and a classic! It flows well and very entertaining. I love Penny's character in this book and of course Romulus is his usual self. Already I am looking forward to number four! I am a very serious reader as far as the volume of books I read by the way (about 40 novels yearly), It took me three days to finish this fine book! Thanks again Richard!
