I was slightly disappointed with 'The Iron Jackal', it didn't seem to really fit in with 'Retribution Falls' and 'Black Lung Captain' I was also slightly disappointed with the basic plot in some ways, it was a bit 'Pirates of the Caribbean' with (without giving too much of the plot away) the black spot on Frey's hand so he can be tracked down by a monster. It just seemed like a story taken from elsewhere and put in the 'Ketty Jay' universe. The book also seemed to depart from the more steampunk genre later on too, when a huge mechanical creature starts attacking the place where Frey is. It just reminded me of the giant robot from Transformers 2 and a bit War of the Worlds. There's not really a great deal more to say about the book, except that it goes back and revisits bits from the first two books, and gives more history to them, the finale of the book is set in a place that was, in a way, vital to the story of Jez, who was, disappointingly, under used in the latter half of the book as she is in a coma of sorts. Perhaps the thing that disappointed me most of all though, was the cover, as it just seems like the books are heading off in a more purely sci-fi universe and further away from the steampunk universe of old. A new person joins the crew (Having kicked Frey in the face in the first two chapters) and the book goes on with the tradition of explaining about the crews previous life, and we get to find out more about Silo in 'The Iron Jackal' which completes knowing the backstory of all the crew. At times, this felt like a swansong for the Ketty Jay books, hopefully it's not. I can see there is still far more left in these books, but hopefully they will go back to the feeling of the first books as this, to me, just didn't really feel like a Ketty Jay book in places.
