It is the beginning of summer in Paris. Matt Cruse is looking forward to spending time with Kate de Vries and piloting an aerocrane for the Celestial Tower—France’s great project that will allow the nation to be first in outer space. But Matt and Kate’s idyllic time is short-lived. Matt narrowly survives an attack by fanatics who are opposed to humans reaching the heavens, while Kate is summoned back to Lionsgate City by her wealthy parents. It’s time she began to think about getting married.

But things look up when the Canadian government makes an exciting offer to both Matt and Kate. Canada wants to reach space first, and the Canadian Minister of Air wants her to join the first expedition as an expert in aerial zoology. There’s a place for Matt, too—if he can pass the grueling tests to become one of the world’s first astralnauts onboard the incredible ship Starclimber.

The third book in Kenneth Oppel’s bestselling Airborn series vaults readers into another thrilling adventure, with all of the exciting twists and vivid imaginings that Oppel’s fans have come to expect—and a little romance, too. From Paris to Lionsgate City, from the Pacificus Ocean to the depths of space, Starclimber is an exhilarating ride from an author who soars to rare heights.
