OLDER FICTION
Colfer, Eoin

Airman

(2) YA Conor, framed for a king's murder, is sent to a diamond-mine prison. Sustained by his passion for flight, Conor designs flying machines on the walls of his cell. The story's tension draws power from the many cards stacked against its protagonist. Lightening this grim concoction is the heady aura of scientific possibility and plenty of period grit and flavor.
