Following the success of AIRBORN and SKYBREAKER, Canadian author Kenneth Oppel debuts the sequel in this series on September 2nd. The alternate world in these books, based on the discovery of a new gas called hydrium that allows people to have floating airships, is amazing, and there are plenty of inventive details to capture the imagination here. The main character, Matt Cruse is finally piloting his own air vessel and has the chance to become one of the first astralnauts to travel to the outer space on board the Starclimber. His relationship with Kate de Vries is nicely developed here, but the real highlights of the book are the richly detailed world and the quick moving storyline. (HARPERCOLLINS CANADA) 5/5
