• Airborn is one of my favorite books by the author Kenneth Oppel. This novel takes place in a fictional past in which airships dominate the skies and strange technologies shape the world. Oppel uses his powerful imagination to craft an interesting plot that keeps you entertained all through this massive page turner. This book has something for everyone, adventure, suspense, romance, and everything inbetween. Coming from a reader who prefers historical fiction to fantasy, this book really is extraordinary. Oppel uses vivid descriptions and incredible imagination to craft a book that anyone can enjoy. The only thing I could wish for is more book! I look forward to read and re read the rest of this entertaining trilogy.

• Sailing toward dawn, and I was perched atop the crow's nest, being the ship's eyes. We were two nights out of Sydney, and there'd been no weather to speak of so far. I was keeping watch on a dark stack of nimbus clouds off to the northwest, but we were leaving it far behind, and it looked to be smooth going all the way back to Lionsgate City. Like riding a cloud. . . . Matt Cruse is a cabin boy on the Aurora, a huge airship that sails hundreds of feet above the ocean, ferrying wealthy passengers from city to city. It is the life Matt's always wanted; convinced he's lighter than air, he imagines himself as buoyant as the hydrium gas that powers his ship. One night he meets a dying balloonist who speaks of beautiful creatures drifting through the skies. It is only after Matt meets the balloonist's granddaughter that he realizes that the man's ravings may, in fact, have been true, and that the creatures are completely real and utterly mysterious. In a swashbuckling adventure reminiscent of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson, Kenneth Oppel, author of the best-selling Silverwing trilogy, creates an imagined world in which the air is populated by transcontinental voyagers, pirates, and beings never before dreamed of by the humans who sail the skies.
