Summary: from good reads
Ben Gold lives in dangerous times. Two generations ago, a virulent disease turned the population of most of North America into little more than beasts called Ferals. Some of those who survived took to the air, scratching out a living on airships and dirigibles soaring over the dangerous ground.
Ben has his own airship, a family heirloom, and has signed up to help a group of scientists looking for a cure. But that's not as easy as it sounds, especially with a power-hungry air city looking to raid any nearby settlements. To make matters worse, his airship, the only home he's ever known, is stolen. Ben must try to survive on the ground while trying to get his ship back.
This brings him to Gastown, a city in the air recently conquered by belligerent and expansionist pirates. When events turn deadly, Ben must decide what really matters--whether to risk it all on a desperate chance for a better future or to truly remain on his own.
Feelings:
I wasn't sure what I was going to think of this book. There are sort of zombies but called Ferals that are humans who have lost their sanity and will kill other humans just because they can. If a human's skin is in contact with fluids from a Feral they become Feral themselves. A little like zombies.
I was surprised that I like this novel as much as I did but I enjoyed it. People live in floating cities to get away from the Ferals and to keep themselves safe. I found the story intriguing and the characters interesting. This was not a book that I would normally read. I would recommend the book to anyone who enjoys dystopian fiction.
