Said quarry, however, is about to be put back into use, with this novel mainly following the exploits of Grimma, Dorcas and a few others when Masklin and a couple of the older Nomes go off on a mission to see if they can find a 'real' home for the Nomes; not somewhere that they have to hide from the Humans (who don't believe in them) as they have done all their life.
This is the one with the monster Jekub, and is slightly more mature than the previous offering in the trilogy (that would be 'Truckers')

The season doesn't shy away from some of the bigger topics of the 60s and today, including racism and homophobia. They are well portrayed and addressed and fit in well with the overall storyline.
However, I did not find this season as gripping as the first, but I can't put my finger on why that is.
