Planesrunner

Planesrunner is a tale set amongst several parallel universes. Our hero is a London teenager named Everett Singh who witnesses his father's kidnapping and then comes into possession of some tech his father had been developing that is wanted by people with bad intent. Eventually he finds himself in an alternate London where airships are very common and he becomes entangled with the airship crew of the Everness. This is a zippy tale and Everett is an interesting character. This is also another example of an already established author trying his hand at the YA market. This was cool enough that I'll probably check out the followup: Be My Enemy.
