Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. All in all, I enjoyed the book and am likely to take up the sequel. My main quibble is that geniuses capable of solving the sort of mathematical knots with which Everett is presented are usually not as normal as Everett. But to make him fit into such a personality would decrease his likableness as a character. But I particularly liked the steampunky idea of Henry Cavendish creating the first electric motor in 1790, sparking (sorry!) an Industrial Revolution that completely bypassed steam and internal combustion. Everett Singh sees his father kidnapped before his eyes and now the kidnappers are after him believing his father has given him the secret to travelling between parallel universes. Can he find the secret and rescue his father? Rollicking YA adventure. After all who wouldn't want to join a Polari-speaking airship crew? sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

When fourteen-year-old Everett Singh's scientist father is kidnapped from the streets of London, he leaves a mysterious app on Everett's computer giving him access to the Infundibulum--a map of parallel earths--which is being sought by technologically advanced dark powers that Everett must somehow elude while he tries to rescue his father.

The chase leads Everett to a version of England in which the energy economy is based on electricity rather than oil. McDonald has called the genre “Teslapunk.” Everett joins the crew of a giant airship, the Everness, whose captain is wowed by his engineering skills.
The novel provides a compelling father-son relationship tied to puzzles and adventures involving several levels of technology. ( )
