Handling:
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.
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 . . .
Vilken underbar bok! Vilket äventyr! Vilka karaktärer! Det här var helt i min smak. Den påminner mig lite om Divergent av Veronica Roth i det att båda handlar om en tjej som inte riktigt anses passa in, men som har ett mål och en förmåga att slå sig fram uppåt, med sin järnvilja. Sånt gillar jag.
