Patchwerk

A scientist battles to keep his invention from being used for evil ends, with a surprising twist

Synopsis: The inventor of an extremely powerful device, realizing that it could be used as a horrible weapon by people with sinister intentions, is trying to smuggle it out of the country in the cargo hold of an airship. But of course, an evil person who wants the weapon is on the ship as well--and knows way more about it than they should, because of a betrayal from the inventor's past. This is the story of their confrontation, and the battle for control of the powerful device.

What I thought: This story seems as though it's going in a familiar direction, and then changes up suddenly and gets extremely interesting and different. The ending didn't quite live up to my expectations; I'm not sure why, perhaps it seemed a little too pat. Nevertheless, I still think it is a very good story, and I definitely recommend reading it.
