In a world running on steam power, in an alternate history, airships rule the skies. Many adventures are to be had and pirates abound as the main characters Matt Cruse and Miss Kate De Vries struggle for survival during a shipwreck.
The adventure is stunning and the peril gripping. I love the action-packed fighting sequences! There was nothing to dislike about this book. My favorite quote is, "That must have taken a great many cows" (its a long story) This book is the first of a series which I look forward to reading the rest of.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone in the sixth grade and up who loves adventure.
