Leviathan

Scott Westerfeld is the author of twelve New York Times bestsellers, including the Uglies series, which has sold millions of copies in thirty-five languages. Westerfeld is also known for the Leviathan trilogy, a seminal work in the steampunk genre, published in more than twenty countries.

Westerfeld's book So Yesterday won the Victorian Premier's Award, and his books have also won the Aurealis and Ditmar awards in Australia. He splits his time between Sydney and New York City. The Mortons, written with Justine Larbalestier, is his first adult book in twenty-five years.

Keith Thompson began his artistic journey in high school, doing the odd freelance job and working in a small animation production studio. In college he studied illustration then pursued his chosen career using the web widely to gain exposure and work. He has produced work as static art, for computer games (Borderlands), for movies (Nothing Safer) and as the illustrator for Scott Westerfeld's trio of books beginning with Leviathan; amongst other printed works (Keith Thompson's Book of the Dead).
