Style: Good
Attitude: Unobjectionable
Matt Cruse learns of the location of the lost airship Hyperion, reputed to be carrying vast wealth.
An enjoyable adventure, if a little slow-moving in places. The pseudo-Edwardian setting with its valve-and-steam technology provides the atmosphere for what is a fairly conventional adventure plus romance story with no real issues. The supporting characters are mostly cardboard but the main leads have just enough depth to them, the female characters in particular having strengths and weaknesses without compromising their femininity.
