The story continues after Leviathan. Now, Alek is aboard the British ship after he and his men helped to fix it. They go to the Ottoman empire, where Alek decides to escape and then, he plots a rebellion against the Sultan, because he wants to strike a blow against the Germans. The main characters ran into lots of adventures. Deryn, was sent on a mission to destroy a weapon that the Ottomans created, and the rest of her team was captured and killed but she survived. I liked the book, my favorite part is at the start, when Alek uses spices to attack the German spy, and it works.

A New York Times Bestselling Author -- The Leviathan arrives in Constantinople, a city where Clanker culture and Darwinist principles intersect in the most intriguing ways. Dr. Barlow and Deryn deliver their precious cargo to the Sultan, but their peace-keeping mission goes unexpectedly -- and disastrously -- awry. Now the only way to save themselves in this hostile, politically-charged city, is for Dr. Barlow to offer up the thing that matters most: the airship.
