For some reason, the local indie bookstore has gotten more and more concerned about not releasing books before the official release date. Time was, I could pick up a preordered book the day it came in, even if it didn’t come out for a week, so long as it wasn’t Harry Potter or something. Not anymore! So the bookstore had my copy of this for almost two weeks before I could bring it home. Such are my woes.
What do you mean you aren’t impressed? Okay, be like that.
With Istanbul far behind them, Alek, Deryn, and the Leviathan sail for Japan, but on the way, Alek finally figures out his strange friend’s secret, and before he can figure out what to do about it, the Tsar himself sends them far off course to Siberia on a desperate mission to rescue the mad but brilliant scientist, Nikola Tesla, who has created a weapon that could end not only the current Great War, but all wars, forever.
( “I had no idea at all. But I make it a policy never to appear surprised.” Doctor Barlow sighed, staring out the window. )
I always hate it when a series I love comes to an end, and Leviathan has been a wonderful, fantastic, exciting ride. I don’t want to get off. I suppose there’s always rereading, and I hear rumors of a Leviathan movie?
Scott Westerfeld can be found online at scottwesterfeld.com, where he has actually posted a least one short story set in the same universe. Keith Thompson, the series illustrator can be found at keiththompsonart.com.
