In Above the Timberline, Manchess has adeptly woven a tale that crosses through numerous genres and histories, making the book difficult to categorize. The influence of the novels by Jules Verne and the adventure illustration by artists like Frank Schoonover and N.C. Wyeth, and a fondness for World War I & II-era aviation, provide the basis for a tale that mixes the narrative qualities of science fiction, drama, adventure, romance, mystery, and coming-of-age.
