The Manual of Aeronautics is a guide to the inner workings of the Darwinist and Clanker powers. In addition to the three novels, there is The Manual of Aeronautics, a lavishly illustrated, full-color companion. But their paths cross in the most unexpected way, and together they embark on an around-the-world adventure, one that will change both their lives forever. In this striking, futuristic rendition of an alternate past where machines are pitted against genetically modified beasts, Aleksandar Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite sides in the war. Their Leviathan is a whale airship and the most masterful beast in the British fleet. The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition.
