Art from Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan

Big fan of Westerfeld going back to his Risen Empire work, and I’m glad something cool is released because I always find myself desperately looking for cool book news to note.  Over at his bog, Westerfeld has released some of Keith Thompson’s art from from his forthcoming book, Leviathan, set to be published by Simon & Schuster in October.

The start of a new series, Westerfeld goes on to say that each installment will include around fifty pieces of art from Thompson. You can also go ahead and read the first chapter of Leviathan

Book Synopsis:

Prince Aleksander, would-be heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battletorn war machine and a loyal crew of men.

Deryn Sharp is a commoner, disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She’s a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered.

With World War I brewing, Alek and Deryn’s paths cross in the most unexpected way…taking them on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure that will change both their lives forever.
