YA
In this Worldshaker sequel, the city-ship's former slaves have overthrown the ruling class. Col (the old captain's grandson) and the girl Riff (a rebel leader) survived the uprising, but the vengeful atmosphere allows no place for friendship (forget romance) between the two. Tense battles rage between rival factions and external imperial powers. Clandestine moments, unexpected twists, and some new faces spice up this steampunk adventure.

YA
Questions of class warfare and a decadent, elite lifestyle dominate this steampunk thriller set on a neo-Victorian city-ship. When Colbert Porpentine encounters the lowliest members of onboard society, he grapples with their dehumanization and his own family's oppressive legacy. The quick action rolls revolution, fleeting romance, and sibling rivalry into a page-turning adventure that leaves room for sequels.
