![]() ![]() You can order print of the Alex & His Stormwalker picture via Keith Thompson’s website HERE. UPDATE THE 3rd: Nor misspelling the book’s title. ![]() If all that sounds wildly imaginative then you’d be absolutely correct. Deryn, thanks to a mishap involving the a jellyfish-based air creature, finds herself aboard the titular Leviathan and airship composed mostly out of a whale but in truth a living ecosystem unto itself. Meanwhile, young Deryn Sharp disguises herself as a boy in order to enter the British air service whose genetically engineered animals take the place of the mechanized constructs of the Austrian empire. Loaded into a Stormwalker, a mechanized military walker, he and his two mentors flee towards the Swiss border. Leviathan starts in June of 1914 as the fictional son of Archduke Ferdinand, Aleksander, is whisked away on the eve of his parents murder. Which is regrettable since Leviathan is an exciting novel full of imagination, adventure, and excitement in spades. In my continuing exploration of several Steampunk titles this month my signed ARC from BEA of Westerfeld’s Leviathan marks my first and only foray into a YA steampunk title.
