//Leviathan// by Scott Westerfeld Historical fiction (WW1) Plot Summary: The Story Begins with World War 1, in the Hungarian Empire, with one of the main characters, Aleksandar. He is the heir to the Hungarian empire’s throne, but one night he is forced to escape from his house because his own empire is turned against him. Framed, and being attacked from everyone, Alek must escape to neutral territory, Switzerland, in a worn down mechanical walker, and a loyal crew of men. The other half of the story is told from a girl named Deryn’s position. She is a commoner, disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. Only men were allowed to join the air service at the time. She is an excellent airman but her secret could get her kicked out for good, and humiliated. The two main character’s paths eventually cross in a very unexpected way, with many strange adventures to come afterwards. The story takes place in a very steampunk version of the world in world war one (Giant mechanical war machines, and a very alternate version of history.) but is based off of a few real events from world war one, not all true, but just enough to spark some interest.
