Publisher's summary

Matt Cruse is back in the phenomenal third volume in Kenneth Oppel's best-selling, award-winning series - and this time he's heading for outer space. Airborn and Skybreaker, the first two books in the series, have been among our best-selling and most-honored titles, and we think you'll find this one just as thrilling - if not more so. Featuring an international cast of larger-than-life characters, this is adventure fiction at its finest.

Riveting

This was absolutely a marvelous book and I could hardly wait to finish it. It was ingenious and I enjoyed getting to know the characters into further depths. There were unique twists and intrigue. This is a definitive recommendation if you enjoy adventure fantasy. Although listed under the young adult section, it is really marvelous for any age.

A Wonderful Finale

A truly great end to one of my favorite trilogies. the book ties up the series wonderfully and is read and dramatized by a stellar cast in this audio version.

I wish there were more.

this would make a great graphic novel in a steampunk fashion. it would also make an awesome movie. probably a good 20 episodes on Netflix. Oops sorry! forgot where I was. It would make a great Amazon Original!

A wonderful cast and interesting story

The space sections can push the boundaries of disbelief at times but overall it is a very satisfying story. Just wish there was an actual epilogue to give some solid closure

My favorite series!

Full Cast audio is the best way to experience a book. Much better than a single narrator. too bad they stopped making recordings.

wonderful YL sci-fi series

these were my son's favorite books, and he still reads them at 23 on occasion, and he finally got me to read them by listening to them on here. The cast is simply amazing it truly bring the book alive! this third book brings to life everything I love about YL science fiction. set an alternate history it incorporates science, light romance, adventure, and real decision making processes.
the author and the audio crew doing amazing job bringing this world to life

Doesn't lose any of its charm and exoneration no matter how many times you read

I started this series when I was ten and waited impatiently until I could get each book. Now, six years later, I've read all the books far too many times, and plan to read them many more. No matter how many times I read it it never gets boring. The performance is top notch by everyone, but I wasn't a fan of the actor who played Kate. It's not her fault, she did the best with the part she was given and she had a lot to stand up to. The Kates in Airborne and Skybreaker was both great, especially the one for Skybreaker, and though this one wasn't bad, she can't stand up to the others. I can't figure out why they changed her for each book and don't love the idea, but that doesn't take away from the overall story. I am just thankful they never changed the actor for Matt. If they did I would not be able to read the audio book and would be forced to buy the IBook. In short, everyone should read this and the whole series. It will take you on a wild ride you'll not soon forget.

Didn't like the actor change for Kate.

I was kind of thrown off that Kate's voice actor was different. I didn't like that at all. She went from a character who was confident, mischievous, strong, and bold...do some whiny little girl. She sounded like she was twelve and was mad that her daddy didn't get her a pony. It's so bad I can barely stand the parts where Kate has a speaking role. As for the rest of the story, excellent with a great cast! I love Oppel's novels.

Great Entertainment, if Physics Isn't Your Thing

All three books of this series have been great fun and I hope this one is the last, because it ends on the right note. As others have observed, the tone of the story is very Jules Vern-ish, with the same spirit of adventure and the casual disregard of physics in building the story.
