Publisher's noteIn this exciting sequel to Airborn and Skybreaker, Matt and Kate face great dangers on their first expedition to outer space when a cast of strange and unsettling creatures surrounds their vessel and major mechanical problems leave them stranded in hostile territory. "Mr. Cruse, how high would you like to fly?" A smile soared across my face. "As high as I possibly can." Pilot-in-training Matt Cruse and Kate de Vries, expert on high-altitude life-forms, are invited aboard the "Starclimber," a vessel that literally climbs its way into the cosmos. Before they even set foot aboard the ship, catastrophe strikes: Kate announces she is engaged--and not to Matt. Despite this bombshell, Matt and Kate embark on their journey into space, but soon the ship is surrounded by strange and unsettling life-forms, and the crew is forced to combat devastating mechanical failure. For Matt, Kate, and the entire crew of the "Starclimber," what began as an exciting race to the stars has now turned into a battle to save their lives. Award-winning and bestselling author Kenneth Oppel brings us back to a rich world of flight and fantasy in this breathtaking new sequel to "Airborn" and "Skybreaker," AnnotationOnce a humble cabin boy and now an actual ship's captain on the Atlas, Matt Cruse is overjoyed to be located in Paris, assisting with the Celestial Tower that will make travel to outer space possible. Frustratingly, sabotage by an anti-space travel group of renegades ruins his chances, but as one door closes, another opens when Matt has the chance to join a Canadian expedition to space. His friend Kate de Vries is on it, and if Matt can make it through a battery of tests, he'll be able to join her and make history. This gripping adventure story began in AIRBORN and SKYBREAKER.
