Description
Airman by Eoin Colfer is a captivating historical adventure set in the 1890s on the fictional Saltee Islands, off the Irish coast. The story follows Conor Broekhart, a gifted young inventor and aviator, born with a passion for flight. Under the guidance of his mentor, he spends his days experimenting with aeronautical designs and enjoying carefree moments with Princess Isabella, the king’s daughter. But his privileged world comes crashing down when he uncovers a sinister plot against the king — a discovery that shatters his life and forces him into a desperate fight for justice.
Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, Conor is imprisoned in the island’s brutal rock quarry, where he must rely on his intellect, courage, and love for flight to survive and plot his escape. Combining elements of steampunk invention, swashbuckling heroics, and richly atmospheric storytelling, Airman is a thrilling stand-alone adventure from the bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series.
