Publisher's Summary

When war comes to the Worldship, all bets are off.

Udo is chosen to be named count. The title comes with the wealth and privilege he's always wanted, but he has a nagging feeling it will be more trouble than it's worth. 

Things become complicated as Hanman, counselor to Ditmar the King, coerces Udo into informing against Gerold of the Four Fires, Ditmar's chief general in the war with Walhaz. Udo resolves to play this part to the best of his ability but is soon horrified when that same general convinces Udo into informing against Hanman. Even worse, both of these men seem openly aware of the other's scheming and each seems pleased to play Udo against the other, with the newly elevated count ill-equipped to handle all the intrigue.

A surprise assassination carried out in the Ditmar's very own fortress causes the king to act fast. The army launches with all haste for Walhaz, including Udo, the giant Riese, Gerold, Hanman, and thousands of other soldiers and nobles. Landing in enemy country, Udo must now navigate a war he does not understand along with all of the earlier troubles, and in the meantime, he remembers the commandment from the goddess Ing: He must look after his brother Riese even though Riese seems to have very little interest in being looked after.  

Experience the brutal and unforgiving sequel to Udo the Digger, a science fiction and fantasy into a wild adventure that will amuse and surprise even veterans of both genres. It's perfect for fans of Arthur C. Clarke's Rama, Horizon Zero Dawn, Aurora, and Book of the Long Sun.

Loved it

Loving this series so much, the change in narrator isn't an issue both are great. I was impatient for answers at the begining of this one but then became absorbed in the story and basically didn't stop listening until it was over. Feeling a bit empty now! The next one please Mr Gayou :-)

I must be getting old

Interesting story but too much profanity for me. Would a God feel the need to swear?

A lost storyline

The author has totally lost his way with the story, the characters and the endless self-reflecting waffling of Udo.
In the first story Udo was a strong character with a hard mind, here he is reduced to a uncertain indecisive mouse, all within the first few chapters.
There is so little story in this book that I begin to wonder if it is actually some other book whose characters have been converted into fitting this sequel.
It will also be the last time I carry on to a second book of a series that has a change of narrator
