Представьте себе тюрьму – огромное сверхсложное устройство, в котором заключён целый мир: леса и дороги, города и моря. Представьте узника, лишённого памяти, но верящего, что он пришёл Снаружи, хотя тюрьма запечатана столетия назад, и лишь один человек, вошедший в легенды, сумел выбраться из неё. Представьте общество, где время остановилось на семнадцатом веке, где сосуществуют средневековый этикет и запрещённые электронные приборы. Представьте девушку, живущую в роскошном поместье, обречённую на ненавистный для неё брак, вовлечённую в тайный заговор с целью убийства, которого она одновременно страшится и желает. Он – внутри, она – снаружи, но оба несвободны. Представьте последствия войны, которая искалечила Луну; семь колец в форме черепов со спрятанными в них украденными жизнями; летающий корабль; Стену на краю мира. Представьте непредставимое. Представьте себе Инкарцерон.

Sailing toward dawn, and I was perched atop the crow's nest, being the ship's eyes. We were two nights out of Sydney, and there'd been no weather to speak of so far. I was keeping watch on a dark stack of nimbus clouds off to the northwest, but we were leaving it far behind, and it looked to be smooth going all the way back to Lionsgate City. Like riding a cloud...

Matt Cruse is a cabin boy on the Aurora, a huge airship that sails hundreds of feet above the ocean, ferrying wealthy passengers from city to city. It is the life Matt's always wanted; convinced he's lighter than air, he imagines himself as buoyant as the hydrium gas that powers his ship. One night he meets a dying balloonist who speaks of beautiful creatures driftingthrough the skies. It is only after Matt meets the balloonist's granddaughter that he realizes that the man's ravings may, in fact, have been true, and that the creatures are completely real and utterly mysterious.

In a swashbuckling adventure reminiscent of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson, Kenneth Oppel, author of the best-selling Silverwing trilogy, creates an imagined world in which the air is populated by transcontinental voyagers, pirates, and beings never before dreamed of by the humans who sail the skies.

Tom and Hester have been thrown together. Truly-thrown out of a city on wheels that's left them stranded and starving in the middle of nowhere while it hares off after its prey. Hester is desperate for revenge, and Tom is only desperate to get back on board his beloved London.
This is a stunning literary debut from Philip Reeve. A novel that defies easy categorisation, it is a gripping adventure story set in an inspired fantasy world, where moving cities trawl the globe. Peopled with convincing and utterly likeable characters, this story is a magical and unique read.

С его помощью он намерен уничтожить города Лиги противников движения, а потом добраться до Марса, Солнца и звезд.
