Scott Westerfeld
The riveting conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling trilogy that’s “sure to become a classic” (School Library Journal).Alek and Deryn are on the last leg of their round-the-world quest to end World War I, reclaim Alek’s throne as prince of Austria, and finally fall in love. The first two objectives are complicated by the fact that their ship, the Leviathan, continues to detour farther away from the heart of the war (and crown). And the love thing would be a lot easier if Alek knew Deryn was a girl. (She has to pose as a boy in order to serve in the British Air Service.) And if they weren’t technically enemies. The tension thickens as the Leviathan steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic on board: Secrets suddenly unravel, characters reappear, and nothing is as it seems in this thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s brilliant trilogy.

"What a whirlwind of an ending to one of my favorite YA series. I was really hoping this series would hold up from reading it almost 10 years ago and I honestly think I appreciated it more this time around than when I was younger. It definitely started my love of slow burns for sure. "

"Like the first two books in the trilogy <i>Goliath</i> was amazing. I was dissapointed with ending for two reason. One because the book ended and I didn't want it to. And two because it just wasn't that good of an ending. I did like the fact that Alek and Deryn finally ended up together, I'm a hopless romantic at heart...<br/><br/>Anyway as much as I loved the series; all three books on got a four star rating. The reason they didn't get a five star was very simple-The main Character Alek is... a little bitch. He does great things but the way he looks to others for guidance is a bit annoying. It's as if he can't do anything on his own or without permission yet hes the heir to a throne.<br/><br/>Okay So I just read the Bonus Chapter - http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/2011/12/bonus-goliath-chapter-and-art/<br/><br/>Now That is an ending!<br/><br/>"

"Yes, yes, YES! This book did not dissapoint. After the Mockingjay failure, I was pretty worried about how this series, which I love very, very, very, very much, would end. It did not, however, fail. Although I certainly want MORE (I always do), this was a superb series finale."

"Sigh...Goliath. I fell for this man in Splice and couldn't wait for his story to be told. <br/><br/>Goliath is a mysterious man, with a traumatic past. His size is true to his name, and yes, he is covered in tattoos (Daddy!). Not only are his looks a leading factor to my current MMC obsession but the way he fought for Emma...swoon. This man would literally burn the world down if it meant keeping her safe and I am here for it. <br/><br/>Instead of keeping her distance, like most of the other characters, Emma was drawn to Goliath. She strengthened their ability to communicate and when they finally got their moment alone...holy hotness. <br/><br/>So yeah, if you're looking for a sexy MC read - this right here is it."
