"What happens if you combine The Lies of Locke Lamora with air ships, then add some Pirates of the Caribbean? This. This is what happens. Chris Wooding nailed it in Retribution Falls.

I'll get this out of the way. I've been told it's a lot like Firefly. You may have to take away my geek card here … but I've never seen Firefly. The movie, Serenity, was excellent, but I'm still looking forward to checking out the show. This means I can't confirm or deny the comparison.

I apologize for any non-Firefly comparisons. I've been reprimanded before…"

I really liked this series of books from Chris Wooding. Great combo of pirates, airships, space opera sci fi.

I read the first one and enjoyed it quite a bit, but haven't had the chance to read the other books in the series.

The comparison to Serenity and Firefly is apt, but far from the full truth of how enjoyable this series is. I admire
Chris Wooding for ending the series after 4 books especially as he does end it on a high note. I highly recommend this series to anyone interested in steampunk or pulp style SF.
