This is a history that never happened. In the mid-19th century, Darwin discovered the "lifeline" of biology and created biosynthetic technology, which quietly changed the world's structure. The German and Austrian Allies formed a mechanist camp and devoted themselves to steel mechas; the British, French and Russian Allies formed a Darwinist camp and were obsessed with synthesizing behemoths. In 1914, the world war was about to break out. Prince Alexander of the Austro-Hungarian Empire fled his motherland after the assassination of the Archduke, with only a few loyal ministers and a mecha for company. At the same time, a Scottish civilian girl, Delin Sharpe, disguised herself as a man and joined the British Air Force, having to hide her identity at all times. The two boarded the Leviathan in an unexpected way, and the boy and the girl were about to influence the direction of the world war...

Behemoth, a giant land beast created by God in the Bible, has a wide mouth, sharp teeth, insatiable gluttony, and eclipses thousands of mountains. It was born on the same day as Leviathan, and has no equal in creation. European countries have long been plunged into the abyss of war. Giant creatures and steel mechas on both sides are fighting day and night, and it is difficult to determine the winner. The only way to break the deadlock is with the help of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which has always maintained neutrality. Britain built the super-giant underwater overlord "Behemoth" for the Sultan, hoping to bring the two countries closer, but unexpectedly pushed the situation to the edge of irreversible collapse. The Leviathan arrived in precarious Istanbul, and both Alek and Delin were involved in the local revolutionary trend. Faced with a secret mission and new allies, the boy and girl decided to fight in the East...

Leviathan, a giant sea beast created by God in the Bible, has strong scales and violent temperament. The world only regards it as a legendary monster, fears it, and respects it. In 1854, Darwin observed the "lifeline" that could control biological evolution under a microscope, and humans were able to create "synthetic beasts" that did not exist in nature. The pinnacle of this technological power is the super giant airship - "Leviathan", which is synthesized from the "lifeline" of a whale. In 1914, war was about to break out. Prince Alexander of the Austro-Hungarian Empire fled his homeland after the assassination of the Archduke, with only a few loyal ministers and a mecha for company. At the same time, a Scottish civilian girl, Delin Sharpe, disguised herself as a man and joined the British Air Force, having to hide her identity at all times. The two boarded the Leviathan in an unexpected way, and the boy and the girl were about to influence the direction of the world war...

Spaceship! Courage! Illustration! The birth of "Leviathan" began with a set of old books and a map of Europe that were over a hundred years old. Through bits and pieces of planning, the blueprint of the entire world was finally gathered into the "Aviation Manual" in Delin's hand, including the settings of the synthetic beasts, mechas, weapons and uniforms mentioned in the novel. Illustrator Keith Thompson is a genius in the field of fantasy art. His monster designs were admired by Guillermo del Toro, and the maps he drew often appear in popular fantasy novels. In the world of "Leviathan", he and Westfield imagined from the fragments of historical research and completed the most amazing graphic and text collaboration in the history of science fiction.

Goliath, the Philistine giant warrior in the Bible, looked strong and fierce and possessed great strength. He once challenged the Israeli warriors for forty consecutive days without losing a single victory. The out-of-control war has spread to the entire world. Only the emergence of overwhelming force can stop the war. It is the supreme weapon "Goliath" invented by Tesla - it can release the energy of the planet into the air and reach every corner of the world. No one can escape. Alek and Delin hope to use Goliath to achieve world peace, but Tesla's ambitions cause a new crisis. After understanding their respective hearts, the boy and the girl are about to make a choice that will shake the world...
