A heads-up for the Adelaide crew. Novel Ideas is the Royal Institute Australia's new book club, and the awesome Leviathan is it's first book.   I'm hosting the night .  Hopefully Scott will be able to drop in electronically to answer questions.  It's free, and it'll be fun.  Come along! 

Wednesday 27 January, 6-7.30pm
The Science Exchange

Novel ideas is the RiAus bimonthly book club for those keen to explore, rediscover and get excited about science-themed books, new and old. We start 2010 with Leviathan, an alternative history steampunk adventure by Scott Westerfeld. Set at the outbreak of World War I, Leviathan follows Alek - the son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, fleeing from assassins in a mechanical war-walker - and Deryn, a Scottish girl crewing the Leviathan, a gigantic living airship evolved specifically for war.

For this book club we'll have the chance for a live link to chat with the author Scott Westerfeld, so make sure you join leading sci-fi writer, Sean Williams, and the RiAus team if you have something to say about novels with a scientific twist - it's time to bring out your inner bookworm.

In association with the Big Book Club.
