Airborn is the story of Matt Cruse as an aspiring sailor in
the early 1900's. But rather taking to the seas, the merchants,
explorers, and even pirates have taken to the skies as pilots
of airships of all sizes and variations that resemble Zeppelins
or blimps from the era. I love this book for the fact that the
author created his own world but paralleled the real world,
like a similar but completely different dimension. The characters
and settings are rich and believable. I found myself at times
wondering what it would be like in Mr. Cruse's shoes. I think
I would rather enjoy it.
