Book description
Jan Dorvin, the Minervan, has overthrown the power of no less than
five
of the mighty airship colonies known as the Sky Lords that once
terrorized the Earth and destroyed her people.
Now, under her rule, the Lord Montcalm
, the Lord Matamoros
, the Perfumed Breeze
, the Lord Retribution
, and the Lord Nimrod
all unwillingly bow to the ancient yet superior and terrible technology
that she has plucked from outer space.
But not every Sky Lord is under her control. Now her enemies are
learning that as much as they hate each other, the only way to survive
is to join together in a colossal show of strength that not even the
laser beams of a Sky Angel, a sentient computer program, or an uppity
Minervan can resist. John Brosnan (1947 - 2005)
