This guide draws back the curtain and reveals the inner depths of Westerfeld’s fascinating alternative world. Loaded with detailed descriptions and elaborate illustrations of Darwinist beasties and Clanker walkers, weapons, transport, and uniforms, this manual highlights the international powers that Deryn and Alek encounter throughout their around-the-world adventures. The Manual of Aeronautics is a guide to the inner workings of the Darwinist and Clanker powers.
In addition to the three novels, there is The Manual of Aeronautics, a lavishly illustrated, full-color companion. But their paths cross in the most unexpected way, and together they embark on an around-the-world adventure, one that will change both their lives forever. In this striking, futuristic rendition of an alternate past where machines are pitted against genetically modified beasts, Aleksandar Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite sides in the war. Their Leviathan is a whale airship and the most masterful beast in the British fleet. The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry.
The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition.
