Summary
Darian Frey is down on his luck. He can barely keep his squabbling crew fed and his rickety aircraft in the sky. Even the simplest robberies seem to go wrong. It's getting so a man can't make a dishonest living any more.
Enter Captain Grist. He's heard about a crashed aircraft laden with the treasures of a lost civilisation, and he needs Frey's help to get it. There's only one problem. The craft is lying in the trackless heart of a remote island, populated by giant beasts and subhuman monsters.
Dangerous, yes. Suicidal, perhaps. Still, Frey's never let common sense get in the way of a fortune before. But there's something other than treasure on board that aircraft. Something that a lot of important people would kill for. And it's going to take all of Frey's considerable skill at lying, cheating and stealing if he wants to get his hands on it....
Strap yourself in for another tale of adventure and debauchery, pilots and pirates, golems and daemons, double-crosses and double-double-crosses. The crew of the Ketty Jay are back!

Super sequel that gets better and better
Fantastic read and excellent narration from Rupert Degas. Glad he has narrated the entire series of books. Super sequel that really develops the characters and world from the first book.

Brilliant
I thought that it was a very good performance by the narrator Rupert Degas. I enjoyed the story as well. I found this second book in the Ketty Jay series to be just as strong as the first one.

Great sequel: superb narration!
I doubt Rupert Degas could do a bad job narrating anything. He's amazing doing everything from Murakami to Rothfuss. He come across as a storyteller rather than a narrator.
This sequel is a most entertaining story and I look forward to more. Most highly recommended!

A fantastic sequel
I was eager to return to the Tales of the Ketty Jay. Book 2 has everything I liked about "Retribution Falls" and continues with some surprising, exciting and poignant new arcs for some of the less explored characters in the last book. Once again, Wooding beautifully introduces a variety of locations across the diverse world he's created, as the crew persue a new goal with adversaries both old and new.
What I especially liked about this book was the way in which some characters remain no more 'likeable' than before (I'm looking at Pin and, to an extent, even Darien Frey himself) but you are still drawn into rooting for them. In particulare, the sub-plot between Harkins and Slag is a masterclass in creating a brilliant and hilarious story out of a relatively trivial aspect of the picture.
I enjoyed every minute of it, and it almost goes without saying by now that Rupert Degas is one of the best audiobook narrators in the world. The sheer diversity of voices he gives to the characters and the flawless reading is a sheer delight.
I've already queued up the next one.

A great return to the Ketty Jay
I had loads of fun catching up with the crew of the Ketty Jay, theres a great balance between swashbuckling adventure and character development and as usual Rupert Degas’ narration is sublime, i would listen to him reading a grocery list, he is such a phenomenal narrator!
