A second book even better than the previous one, 2005 starts very well =)
Her last meeting with the famous adventurer Archimedes Fox having ended badly enough for him, Yasmeen, the famous captain of the Lady Corsair, has one last thing to do before flying to new adventures: going to see the sister of Archimedes Fox to tell her the news of the likely death of her brother and negotiate a percentage on the sale of the famous Leonardo da Vinci's sketch she stole from Fox before his fall. Except that Fox is far from being dead and the famous sketch he found is becoming more and more popular ...
I totally LOVE this second book !! The story is great, the characters are captivating (if I had like a little less the Iron Duke and Mina, I absolutely loved Yasmeen and Fox !! Their humor, their little fights etc etc ... AWESOME =)) and the universe is just fantastic (the Horde legends are beautiful and this book allows us to further explore this civilization that we had seen before only through the eyes of English people =))
In short, a MUST-READ !!!
