Leviathan
by Scott
Westerfield
It is the cusp of World War I, and all the
European powers are arming up. The Austro-Hungarians and
Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines
loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists
employ fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their Leviathan is
a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British
fleet.
Aleksandar Ferdinand, prince
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is on the run. His own
people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he
has is a battle-torn Stormwalker and a loyal crew of men.
Deryn Sharp is a commoner, a girl disguised
as a boy in the British Air Service. She's a brilliant
airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being
discovered.
With the Great War brewing, Alek's and
Deryn's paths cross in the most unexpected way...taking them
both aboard the Leviathan on
a fantastical, around-the-world adventure. One that will
change both their lives forever.
