From #1 bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the first of three Skyward series novellas, set between Starsight and Cytonic.

When a planet-destroying Delver suddenly appears in the sky of Detritus and vanishes just as suddenly, FM knows that the last free human society got lucky. Her Skyward Flight companion Spensa figured out how to draw this Delver away, but it won't be so easy next time.

The forces of the Galactic Superiority will be back-and if the Defiant Defense Force can't figure out a way to escape the planet, humanity's destruction is only a matter of time. Spensa's mission to infiltrate the Superiority unveiled the secret to their hyperdrives-a cytonic slug species called the Taynix. Now FM's flightleader Jorgen has found a large group of Taynix hiding in the caverns far below Detritus's surface.

FM and Jorgen must work together with the engineer Rig to awaken the mysterious alien Alanik and unlock the powers of the Taynix, or humanity will be trapped. With Spensa's friend Minister Cuna of the Superiority stranded at the outpost of Sunreach, they need to figure out how to rescue her-before her foes in the Superiority government can prepare a new weapon to wipe out Detritus once and for all.

Awesome to have more time with side characters. A must for anyone reading or listening to the Skyward series :)

Lovely treat

Sanderson is my absolute favourite and this collab with Janci Patterson is worth the credit, even if it only goes for a few hours. I do miss Sophie Aldred's narration as I love her use of diverse accents and voices in the main series, but this narrator is also very capable and pleasant to listen to.

Brilliant as always

This is a fantastic story, but having been spoiled by listening to Sophie Aldred read the main series, it's hard to hear the different pronunciation of names by the reader.
I do appreciate the effort and thank the reader for her range of voices given to each character!

Scud it's good

I normally feel a resistance at reading side stories. Like I just want to continue on with my favourite characters. But these are now my favourite characters. The short Story is so worthwhile, Brandon is such a good writer. I loved getting to know FM better and the whole animal rites theme with the Taynex. Such a good listen, couldn't recommend more.

This short story made me cry

This book is exactly what the series needed. Star-Sight left me wanting more of the original skyward flight and their interactions and this is exactly what this book delivered (Minus Spensa). Mega Props to Janci Patterson for her work on the series, the transition felt almost seamless.

Awesome! Great addition to the skyward series.
