Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

It is the cusp of World War I. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their Leviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.

Aleksandar Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite sides of the war. But their 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.

Synopsis:

Now in paperback, the New York Times bestselling launch of Westerfeld's masterful series that SLJ reviewd as "sure to become a classic."

Leviathan is the first book in the Leviathan series, the world that he creates is a steampunk dream, and nightmare, with just enough real history to allow the reader to follow along. The main characters seem to be well rounded, but not super human, who make mistakes, and bad decisions, but triumph, in small ways mostly, over these mistakes. All in all a delightful light read.
