![]() ![]() He is killed by the pirates during their attempted second seizure of the Aurora, and Matt is heartbroken that he will never have the opportunity to learn what makes him happy. He's polite, occasionally funny, and he ends up being unbelievably brave.īruce probably has the saddest ending of any of the characters (well, except for maybe Theodore). ![]() He's made the deal that if he can manage to serve on the Aurora for two years his father will leave him alone to pursue whatever makes him happy, if only he can find out what that is.Īlthough we start off resenting Bruce because of the way he's inadvertently screwing Matt over, we learn over the course of the story that he's actually a pretty decent dude. Unfortunately though, Bruce is a case of mo' money, mo' problems-he has no clue what he wants to do with his life, which is a never-ending disappointment to his business-driven father. So it's come down to this: Matt versus Szpirglas, tussling on top of Matt's precious airship. He and Kate escape and go on to try and rescue everyone on board the Auroraand for once luck might be on their side. The plot centers around 15-year-old cabin boy Matt Cruse, who works aboard the airship Aurora in a Steampunk Alternate History close to our world in The Edwardian Era. His father owns the Aurora (as well as a ton of other stuff), and that's how he comes to be on the ship as a junior sailmaker. But, from the depths of a hydrium-filled cave, a flash of brilliance in the form of Matt Cruse emerges. Airborn is the first book in the trilogy of the same name, written by Canadian Kenneth Oppel. ![]() Bruce's last name might as well have been Wayne. ![]()
