AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Alek and Deryn are aboard the Leviathan when the ship is ordered to pick up an unusual passenger. This brilliant, maniacal inventor claims to have a weapon called Goliath. It can end the war. But whose side is the inventor really on?

While on their top-secret mission, Alek finally discovers Deryn's deeply kept secret. Not only is Deryn a girl disguised as a boy ... she also has feelings for Alek.

The crown, true love with a commoner, and the destruction of a great city all hang on Alek's next and final move.

The thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series.' (Publisher's blurb)

Notes

  • Steampunk note: This novel contains many of the key features of steampunk, including an alternate history characterised by advanced mechanical and otherwise technological innovations, and a focus on the actions of imperial powers. Goliath in particular focuses on re-imagined versions of real historical figures, such as Nikola Tesla.
