Conor Broekhart was born to fly. Or, more accurately, he was born flying. Little wonder he became what he became. In an age of discovery and invention, many dreamed of flying, but for Conor flight was more than just a dream, it was his destiny. In one dark night on the island of Great Saltee, a cruel and cunning betrayal destroyed his life and stole his future. Now Conor must win the race for flight, to save his family and to right a terrible wrong...This is swashbuckling new fiction from the amazing Eoin Colfer, ideal for readers aged 10+.

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Brilliant!
Although I didn't buy this book off of Amazon, I thought I'd review it anyway. I'll just start off by saying that if you're expecting another Artemis Fowl, this isn't it. That's not to say this isn't at least as good as the AF books but in my humble opinion it's a lot darker and older. The humour's still there though and I personally thought it was great. It's swashbuckilng, daring, and somehow Colfer makes it all seem believable. Buy It Now!!!

Amazing story
An amazing story, let down by the lack of pace and flow. The story is very original, although not up there with the Alex Rider, Jason Steed, James Bond and Jimmy Coates, its better than Cody Banks.

Airman is..........different
While i bought the book hoping it would spawn into a series and that it would have a bit more....................snap! This was not what i expected. i can read almost anything AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED IT WAS STILL A VERY GOOD BOOK!
