Annotated Award-Winning Titles
In this new Matt Cruse adventure, our hero is on board Flotsam, a cargo airship. When the crew members of Flotsam see the legendary ghost ship, Hyperion, that once belonged to the wealthy Theodore Grunel, they head skyward in reckless pursuit. Rumour has it that Hyperion disappeared holding Grunel's great wealth. So rich is its cargo that it inevitably attracts the attention of the adventurous and the dishonest alike, but Matt is the only person who knows the precise location where Hyperion was sighted for the last time. With the help of Kate de Vries, Hal Slater, the conceited pilot of Sagarmatha and the mysterious Nadira, Matt begins to search for Grunel's treasure. Kenneth Oppel immerses the reader brilliantly into his marvellous universe in this follow-up to his first novel of the series, Airborn, which has been reprinted many times. –FO |
