Publisher's Summary

The behemoth is the fiercest creature in the British navy. It can swallow enemy battleships with one bite. The Darwinists will need it, now that they are at war with the Clanker powers.

Deryn is a girl posing as a boy in the British Air Service, and Alek is the heir to an empire posing as a commoner. Finally together aboard the airship Leviathan, they hope to bring the war to a halt. But when disaster strikes the Leviathan's peacekeeping mission, they find themselves alone and hunted in enemy territory.

Alek and Deryn will need great skill, new allies, and brave hearts to face what's ahead.

couldn't stop until it was done.

The alternate history idea mixed with darwinism is a new genre i would love to see more of.

The characters in this series compliment each other so well that it seems they could almost do anything.
I can't wait for more.

Amazing

I find that the second book of any series makes or breaks it. This book makes it! It had me laughing with and at the characters, it made for a very charming book. I love that Deryn hasn't reviled her gender and the complications that came with that. Also all of Alek's troubles with taking command and his place in the world is so well written. I also love the friendship between the two and how they have come to rely on each other. I also have started to use a couple of the phrases in this book to the bewilderment of the people around. 10/10 would recommend this series to anyone
