4-6Icebreaker series.
Twelve-year-old Petrel (Icebreaker) and the stranded crew of the ancient icebreaker Oyster are reluctantly rescued by the captain of the Rampart, a giant submersible. Slowly, the two groups bond and join together to resist the fanatical, world-ruling Devouts (a.k.a. Anti-Machinists) and restore knowledge to the world. Packed with action, adventure, and memorable characters; readers will clamor for the trilogy's final installment.
