Behemoth is the sequel to Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. It’s the second book in the Leviathan Trilogy. It’s set to be released Oct 5, 2010.

Leviathan received a new cover, once it was released in paperback. The new art matches the sequel book, very well elaborated and unique.

Alek is the one on the cover of Leviathan and Deryn is on Behemoth.

Synopsis to Behemoth:

“The behemoth is the fiercest creature in the British navy. It can swallow enemy battleships with one bite. The Darwinists will need it, now that they are at war with the Clanker powers.

Deryn is a girl posing as a boy in the British Air Service, and Alek is the heir to an empire posing as a commoner. Finally together aboard the airship Leviathan, they hope to bring the war to a halt. But when disaster strikes the Leviathan’s peacekeeping mission, they find themselves alone and hunted in enemy territory.

Alek and Deryn will need great skill, new allies, and brave hearts to face what’s ahead.”
