Prosperity
by Alexis Hall
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley for review.
Welcome to Prosperity, a skytown run by the overload, Milord. Our hero, Piccadilly, a sometime prostitute, oftentime card sharp, manages to cheat in a card game against the famed Milord. Faced with the prospect of death, he runs, gets shot, and lands on deck of the Shadowless, an aethership piloted by Byron Kae. An adventure awaits Dil once he recovers. Learning to read, falling in lust, mining the clouds for phlogiston, and discovering the meaning of "home" fill his days.
"Prosperity" is an enjoyable yarn. I had some difficulty in the beginning with the dialect. Once I grew used to it, the reading was smooth. Warnings for profanity and two, somewhat graphic, homosexual sex scenes. In all, I'd look forward to reading a sequel, especially if it contained more about Dil and the mysterious Byron Kae.
