<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> From the #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author of the Mistborn series comes the launch title of an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war with aliens. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b><b>A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!</b><br><b></b><br><b>From Brandon Sanderson, the #1 </b><b><i>New York Times</i></b><b> bestselling author of the Reckoners series, </b><b><i>Words of Radiance, </i></b><b> and the internationally bestselling Mistborn series, comes the first book in an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war for humanity's future.</b></b> <p/>Spensa's world has been under attack for decades. Now pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father's--a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa's chances of attending flight school at slim to none. <p/>No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars. <p/><b>Praise for </b><b><i>Skyward</i></b><b> </b><br><b>A </b><b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><b> Best Book of the Year</b> <p/><b>Startling revelations and stakes-raising implications</b>...Sanderson plainly had a ball with this <b>nonstop, highflying opener, </b> and readers will too.<i>--Kirkus Reviews</i>, Starred Review <p/>With this <b>action-packed trilogy opener</b>, Sanderson offers up <b>a resourceful, fearless heroine and a memorable cast</b>...[and] as the pulse-pounding story intensifies and reveals its secrets, a cliffhanger ending sets things up for the next installment.<i>--Publishers Weekly</i>, Starred Review <p/>It is <b>impossible to turn the pages fast enough.</b>--<i>Booklist</i> <p/><b>Sanderson delivers a cinematic adventure</b> that explores the defining aspects of the individual versus the society...[and] <b>fans of [his] will not be disappointed.</b><i>--SLJ</i> <p/><b>Praise for Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners series: </b><br><b>#1 </b><b><i>New York Times</i></b><b> Bestselling Series</b> <p/><b>Another win for Sanderson</b> . . . <b>he's simply a brilliant writer. </b>Period.--Patrick Rothfuss, author of the <i>New York Times </i>and <i>USA Today</i> bestseller <i>The Name of the Wind</i> <p/><b>Action-packed.</b>--<i>EW</i> <p/><b>Compelling.</b> . . .
