They abound in almost all of Gail Carriger’s books, in fact both the Finishing School series (my fav of the bunch) and the Custard Protocol series take place aboard dirigibles. Hijinks abound. Hijinnks guaranteed.

They appear as a major plotpoint in the Fall of Ill-Rien series by Martha Wells, and so do Stargates, I love those books. In fact, Martha Wells’s Raksura books also feature lighter than air craft, though none that are the classic dirigible style. Like Murderbot? Check out her other stuff, none of it disappoints.

Girl Genius? ‘nough said. Dirigibles galore. Including pirate, excuse me, privateer dirigibles.

They’re called ‘twains’ in the Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephan Baxter.  And they move between worlds.

I’ve always been fascinated by dirigibles, I’m not sure if it’s because I grew up next to to where the Hindenburg crashed, or it’s it’s just because they’re cool and underutilized.
