In this final volume, Masklin and his two companions have adventures, meet Grandson Richard (39), and enable the nomes to realize their destiny, become safe, and go home if they wish. It's a good conclusion to the series, with many more humorous touches and a happy ending.
If you liked the other two volumes, you can confidently embark on this one, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Com'è volata la lettura di questa piccola (ah ah!) trilogia! Una mini (ok la smetto XD) odissea che porta il popolo dei Niomi dai piccoli reparti dell'Emporio (Santa Occasionissima!) fino all'Esterno per poi scoprire mondi sempre più vasti... e non immaginate quanto!
In questa serie ci ho trovato un po' di tutto: un po' degli Sgraffignoli di Mary Norton, un pizzico de La Collina dei Conigli di Richard Adams, e, a sorpresa, anche qualcosina della Guida Galattica per gli Autostoppisti.
Ma soprattutto ho trovato tanto, tanto Terry Pratchett! Quel Pratchett che con ironia ti racconta la verità sulla società e sulla natura umana, che attraverso i Niomi ti descrive le nostre stesse contraddizioni e i nostri stessi limiti. Ma si ride.
Come disse una volta Sherlock, "it's funny because it's true.".

For me, the weakest of the trilogy, even though it has most adventurous plot advancement. But I prefer the more philosophical bokk one and two. I'm not sure about the ending as well. It's good enough, I guess.

TL;DR: The closing chapter in the Bromeliad trilogy, if you've read the others, you definitely should read this one to close things out (it's better than Diggers).
TL: Truckers was a fantastic book, Diggers was definitely not as good, Wings is also not as good, but it's a bit better than Diggers - Diggers and Wings really could have been a single book and, really, I guess they actually are. Diggers is Grimma's tale, and Wings is the same timeline from Masklin's perspective.

The Nomes are in Florida! I love Angalo and his obsession with science and understanding how things work.
