Skybreaker

Overview

A legendary ghost ship. An incredible treasure. A death-defying adventure.

Forty years ago, the airship Hyperion vanished with untold riches in its hold. Now, accompanied by heiress Kate de Vries and a mysterious gypsy, Matt Cruse is determined to recover the ship and its treasures. But 20,000 feet above the Earth's surface, pursued by those who have hunted the Hyperion since its disappearance, and surrounded by deadly high-altitude life forms, Matt and his companions soon find themselves fighting not only for the Hyperion--but for their very lives.

Editorial Reviews

Matt Cruse returns in the fully imagined world first described in Airborn, for which PW said, "In crisp, precise prose, Oppel imagines an alternate past where zeppelins crowd the skies and luxury liners travel the air rather than the sea." Ages 12-up. (Jan.) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
