"The request line for the sequel can start forming now."*
The behemoth is the fiercest creature in the British navy. It can swallow enemy battleships with one bite. The Darwinists will need it, now that they are at war with the Clanker Powers.
Deryn is a girl posing as a boy in the British Air Service, and Alek is the heir to an empire posing as a commoner. Finally together aboard the airship Leviathan , they hope to bring the war to a halt. But when disaster strikes the Leviathan 's peacekeeping mission, they find themselves alone and hunted in enemy territory. Alek and Deryn will need great skill, new allies, and brave hearts to face what's ahead.
"...Westerfeld's brilliantly constructed imaginary world will capture readers from the first page. Full of nonstop action, this steampunk adventure is sure to become a classic."

In the midst of conflict with the Clankers, the Darwinists' war efforts rely on the behemoth, the largest, most feared creature in the British navy. Deryn, posing as a boy so that she may serve in the Air Service, finds herself aboard the Leviathan along with Alek, the heir to the empire, who is also in disguise. However, when the Leviathan's mission goes awry, Alek and Deryn must team up and outrun the relentless enemy.
