Skyward

di Brandon Sanderson (Autore)

Gollancz, 2018

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE **** 'We must not cower in the dark because we're afraid of the spark within us. The answer is not to put out the spark, but to learn to control it' Spensa's world has been under attack for hundreds of years. An alien race called the Krell leads onslaught after onslaught from the sky in a never-ending campaign to destroy humankind. Humanity's only defense is to take to their ships and fight the enemy in the skies. Pilots have become the heroes of what's left of the human race. Spensa has always dreamed of being one of them; of soaring above Earth and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father's - a pilot who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, placing Spensa's chances of attending flight school somewhere between slim and none. No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, but she is still determined to fly. And the Krell just made that a possibility. They've doubled their fleet, making Spensa's world twice as dangerous . . . but their desperation to survive might just take her skyward . . . **** SANDERSON IS AN EXCELLENT STORYTELLER: 'Thrills and snappy dialouge' DAILY MAIL 'Episodic and fast-paced with surprises around every turn' SCI FI NOW 'I loved this book. What else is there to say?' PATRICK ROTHFUSS 'Epic in every sense' GUARDIAN
