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 . . .

Better version with Sophie Aldred

Much better version
This series was promoted for "young adults" audience. I think it was more apparent in the other version narrated by Suzy Jackson.
This version, narrated by Sophie Aldred feels slightly more mature. Also M-bot sounds better in this version, for some reason the Irish/Scottish? accent makes its quirky character better stand out.

WOW

What an amazing book!!! I didn't want it to end!! I absolutely love this book.

Great!

An excellent story. A really superb narrator. looking forward impatiently for the next book in the series.

Cool idea of human got stripped off technology

What happened if interstellar travel human being landed on unknown planet, got stripped off the interstellar technology, and have to survive alien attacks?

This book made a very good story about this question. and planted many questions. hope i can read the next book!

Amazing new book from Brandon!

Highly recommended new book from Brandon Sanderson. Couldn't put it down! Honestly, he just does such a good job creating his characters and his character development makes us as readers, understand the reasoning behind the Characters choices and attitudes. So good.

Sanderson does it again

Another phenomenal book from Brandon Sanderson. What a story, beautifully narrated and so absorbing. I couldn’t switch this off and can’t recommend it enough. Loved it!

Binge worthy

Another immersive story by Brandon Sanderson. He just knows how to create characters and plots that take you on a journey of discovery. The characters get to grow and develop at a good pace. Loved the narrator Sophie Aldred and the way she uses accents. Definitely a series to sink your teeth into.
