Tumultuous Travels Around a Steampunk’d World in Scott Westerfeld’s Goliath In Goliath, Scott Westerfeld’s action-packed conclusion to the Leviathan trilogy, war is thundering across the globe and everyone is determined to stop it. Alek, the drifting prince — and secret heir to the Austrian-Hungarian empire — thinks that his position is the trump card that can end the fighting. But he’s not the only one with a plan. Westerfeld takes us on the final leg of Alek and Deryn’s international escapades to meet up with steampunk’s most famous (and possibly mad) scientist, Nikola Tesla. It all starts with the whale-cum-airship making a detour to Siberia and a dangerous encounter with some of Darwinist Russia’s infamous fighting bears. Either way, Tesla is furious about the war and the Clanker invasion of his homeland of Serbia. Dr. Of course, this isn’t the only conflict in the book. Westerfeld also gets kudos for taking the time to let us readers sample other parts of the world.
