Book description
It wasn't a thing, it was a bit of shaped sky . . .
Somewhere in a place that is so far up there is no down, a
ship is waiting to take the nomes home - back to wherever they came
from. And one nome, Masklin, knows that they've got to try and contact
this ship.
It means going to Florida (wherever that is), then getting to the
launch of a communications satellite (whatever that is). A ridiculous
plan. Impossible. But Masklin doesn't know this, so he tries to do it
anyway. And the first step is to try and hitch a ride on a new kind of
truck, a truck with wings - Concorde.
The final title in the magnificent trilogy, The Bromeliad.
