false 837197 8 When streetwise Molly Templar witnesses a brutal murder at the brothel she has recently been apprenticed to, her first instinct is to run back to the poorhouse where she grew up. But there she finds her fellow orphans butchered, and it slowly dawns on her that she was the real target of the attack. For Molly is a special little girl, and she carries a secret that marks her out for destruction by enemies of the state. Oliver Brooks has led a sheltered existence in the backwater home of his merchant uncle. But when he is framed for his only relative's murder he is forced to flee for his life, accompanied by an agent of the mysterious Court of the Air. Chased across the country, Oliver finds himself in the company of thieves, outlaws and spies, and gradually learns more about the secret that has blighted his life. Soon Molly and Oliver will find themselves battling a grave threat to civilization, an ancient power thought to have been quelled millennia ago. Their enemies are ruthless and myriad, but the two orphans are also aided by indomitable friends in this endlessly inventive tale full of drama, intrigue, and adventure. The Court of the Air is a rollicking adventure set in a fantastical Dickensian clockwork universe that will appeal to fans of Susanna Clarke and Philip Pullman. 1189004 book 3 9 2007 The Court of the Air total:312|5:26|4:87|3:117|2:60|1:22| 312 971 697 114 3 4 false false Tue Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 17:26:28 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 17:14:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 3 false false Thu Jan 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 02 19:16:06 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 15 18:38:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 5 false false Wed Mar 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 15:13:47 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 18:17:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Mar 19 20:26:26 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 08 20:27:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Sep 18 22:41:17 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 18 22:42:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 2 false false Tue Oct 13 13:01:33 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 13:08:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Sep 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 09:02:25 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 09:14:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Tue Sep 01 11:46:30 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 17:43:57 -0700 2009

I am impressed by the fact that NONE of the governments cited are anything close to optimal. That being said, they are mostly un-optimal in as far as they approach socialism/communism, and i t would be more pointed and persuasive without that particular bias.
