In Leviathan, Scott Westerfeld masterfully blends steampunk, alternate history, and adventure in this thrilling first book of a trilogy. Set during World War I, two young protagonists—Prince Aleksander, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and Deryn Sharp, a girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service—find themselves in the midst of a conflict between Clanker powers, who rely on steam-powered machines, and Darwinists, who utilize genetically engineered animals. The story sweeps readers into a world filled with political intrigue, daring missions, and breathtaking battles, while exploring themes of loyalty, identity, and survival. Featuring Keith Thompson's stunning illustrations, Leviathan is a visual and narrative feast that will captivate fans of both history and fantasy.
