Spensa's world has been under attack for decades. ![]() Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award." ( AudioFile magazine)įrom Brandon Sanderson, the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the internationally best-selling Mistborn series, comes the first book in an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war for humanity's future. This is a high-octane futuristic narrative of hope, sacrifice, and courage, and a fast pace speaks to the rising urgency as war rages above the planet. Jackson's gift for characterizations shines - she brings out the humor and heroism in Spensa's young classmates and friends (and the neurotic spaceship MBOT), along with the pain and perseverance of the generations that came before them. But Spensa also discovered a few other things about herself-and she'll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to."Narrator Suzy Jackson's assured, brassy tones and forceful delivery are an exceptional match for Sanderson's high-stakes, battle-driven space opera. Everything Spensa has been taught about her world is a lie. When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars-and it was terrifying. And she's sure that whatever happened to her father in his starship could happen to her. Spensa is sure there's more to the story. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them. The rumors of his cowardice are true-he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. The epic adventure continues in this story of a girl with a secret in a dangerous world at war for humanity's future. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive comes the sequel to Skyward. ![]()
