I think we need to re-write the page and talk more about just how god-awful this book really is, I mean I can probably list a large number of inaccuracies with what the author has written and just how terribly written it is. Especially the author's penchant for underage sex scenes laced with violence...

Welp, this looks like an... interesting read... At least it seems a bit more nuanced than that Victoria book, though that might be damning with faint praise.

Edited by Paireon I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me.

Who edited my Cool Ship? The Airships in the story are not zeppelins, but have lift wings and turbines. Basically giant VTOL's.

"Zeppelin", for the purposes of Zeppelins from Another World, isn't limited to just the traditional kind of airship created by the German Count.

As for the airships, part of their lift is from the body, but they also partly depend on helium for lift. That's why they had to ditch in Lake Geneva, because the Janissary shooting at the airship while Hamilton et al were boarding was punching holes in the lift gas cells, leaving insufficient lift gas to cover what aerodynamics didn't.

I see...I thought they were some sort of fuel gas cells, I read in a hurry.

As an exmuslim, I think this is even possible you know. Except some factual errors. Muslims today know not to enslave and take slave mooks. They have their own aggressive muslim males, and they wouldnt be stupid enough to mint coin only currency. FIAT currency is something even the Islamic realm understands.

The "extreme right-wing" thing wasn't really adding anything to the description, especially since a lot of what he did (save firing the nukes, of course) has been done in the past by both sides of the political spectrum.

I also removed Cool Airship, as the trope isn't just "an airship is in the story" but "this is an awesome airship", and the airships in Caliphate aren't presented as particularly "cool", just useful transportation.

Also added tropes and tweaked others based on a page I was working on for this work but hadn't the time to start.
