Hi everyone
This is my review for the second book in the Chronicles of Isambard Smith by Toby Frost.
The copy I read is my father’s and it has 323 pages.

“Tea . . . a beverage brewed from the fermented dried leaves
of the shrub Camelli sinensis and imbibed by all the great civilizations in the
galaxy's history; a source of refreshment, stimulation, and, above all else, of
moral fiber—without which the British Space Empire must surely crumble to leave
Earth at the mercy of its enemies. Sixty percent of the Empire's tea is grown
on one world—Urn, principal planet of the Didcot system. If Earth is to keep
fighting, the tea must flow! When a crazed cult leader overthrows the
government of Urn, Isambard Smith and his vaguely competent crew find
themselves saddled with new allies—a legion of tea-obsessed nomads, an
overly-civilized alien horde. and a commando unit so elite that it has only
five members. Only together can they defeat the self-proclaimed God Emperor of
Didcot and confront the true power behind the coup—the sinister legions of the
Ghast Empire and Smith's old enemy, Commander 462.”
Like my previous review, I can’t really write a big review
about this book because it’s just such a ridiculous story with goofy characters
and absurd events.
The book is funny, over-the-top, cheeky, light,
entertaining, predictable, silly and dry.
ONLY recommended if you like classic British humor.
3 STARS
Happy reading!
