Planesrunner, Be My Enemy by Ian Mcdonald

Planesrunner and Be My Enemy

3/5. YA about a math savant teenager who goes adventuring across the multiverses in pursuit of the kidnappers of his father, also airships.

Fun and stylish, with a very definite feel of those Doctor Who two-parters about alt Londons and Cybermen, with a strong dash of Stargate in there too. I didn't finish the trilogy because it's a smidge young for me, and the last book apparently goes down a path I'm not interested in, but I would give these to the right early teen.
