![]() ![]() Determined to show the world that she is NOT a coward, Spensa enrolls in DDF pilot school, ready to take the fight to the Krell and “bathe in the blood of her enemies” (Spensa is a bit bloodthirsty). Her father, Zeen, was the best pilot in the DDF until the Battle of Alta, when he abandoned his squadron in the middle of the largest battle the DDF had ever fought. Spensa Nightshade is the daughter of a coward. Brave pilots fly starships and risk their lives to keep the Krell at bay, often paying the ultimate cost. The Defiant Defense Force is the last line of defense between the outposts and the Krell attacks. ![]() Fortunately for the humans, they aren’t without defenses. The mysterious race attacks outposts constantly, determined to drop a Lifebuster bomb to wipe out all human life. The Krell are an alien race bent on humanity’s destruction. ![]() The dead planet Detritus offers little in the way of comfort, but this isn’t the only challenge humanity faces. Humanity clings to life, living in caves and scrounging for food where it can be found. ![]() Skyward is a new Spin (pun intended) on the classic fantasy trope of a boy and his dragon, except this time it’s a girl and her spaceship. Skyward is Brandon Sanderson’s newest novel, though that might only be true for a month or two, as Sanderson is nothing if not prolific. Skyward is an action-packed start to a new series from Brandon Sanderson, who proves he can write fun and engaging science fiction with the characteristic plot twists that have made his novels hugely popular. ![]()
