Friday Question!

[princess]

Alright, this week's Friday Question is a little selfish, but I've watched all my DVDs so...

What's your favorite Steampunk media work? It can be a book, a CD, a DVD or something else! Tell us a little bit about it! Maybe you'll make a connection with someone else who loves your obscure theremin recordings...or maybe you'll find something you never heard of and want to check out!

(As always, answers in the comments please!)

My favorite would have to be Airborn by Kenneth Oppel. (It also has two excellent sequels: Skybreaker and Starclimber.) The story unfolds 800 feet in the air on one of the luxury airships that dominate the skies in the Victorian-age setting. The airship Aurora is kind of the Titanic of the skies but the story is very much angled at a Treasure Island-like adventure. In addition, the traditional steampunk inventions (particularly the flying variety), air pirates, strange creatures, a strong plot, and an excellent hero and heroine team create quite a story. And that's only in the first novel...!

(Why, yes, it does have a website!)
