h/cvr blurb:

`It loomed over them, so big that you had to keep on stepping
back and back to see how big it was. It wasn't a _thing_, it
was a bit of shaped sky...'

Somewhere in a place so far up there is no down, a ship is
waiting to take the nomes home - back to wherever they came
from. With their home in a quarry under threat, one nome -
Masklin - knows that they've got to find a way of contacting
this ship.

It means going to Florida (wherever that is), then getting to
the launch of a communications satellite (whatever _that_ is).
A ridiculous plan. Impossible. But Masklin doesn't know this
so he tries to do it anyway. And the first step is to try and
hitch a ride on a new kind of truck, a truck with wings -
Concorde ...

He doesn't want to cause any trouble. He only wants to steal
one of those space shuttle things. But when you're only four
inches high in a world full of humans, things have a nasty
habit of getting rather complicated...
