Diggers

This is the middle volume of the trilogy about the nomes, telling what the other nomes get up to while Masklin and his two companions are missing, presumed lost, on an expedition to the nearby airport.

I don't really need to say much about it because you'll read it if you liked the first volume, and not otherwise. It's satisfactory, but Masklin's story is the important part of the trilogy, and that's told in the first and third volumes.
