Leviathan by Scott Westerfield

Leviathan by Scott Westerfield. 440 pp.

An alternate history of World War I a la Steampunk. The powers at war are the Clankers, who want to rule via machinery, and the Darwinists, who genetically alter animals into useful tools for everyday life and war. Add a girl masquerading as a boy in the British Air Service and an unrecognized heir to the Hapsburg throne and you have the makings of a fun tale.
