About this listen

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.

Honestly I prefer these books to the main story and that is saying something because the main story is awesome. This book is written through the eyes of FM, building on the main storys ark but this focuses more on the other members of the flight rather than just Spins story. The characters are well rounded and loveable the romance side of the story is well written and easy to want the characters to succeed in their efforts.

After these 3 books which I also bought in hardback (single book for all three) I then went and found more books by Janci Patterson to read as I really like her style.

A new dimension to the Skyward saga

This book hits the road running, fast paced, it flows through the story arc, not hesitating to intertwine with Brandons main story line it is excellent read (listen) and I found myself listening to the whole book in almost a single sitting, I look forward to more stories in this arc.
I recommend this for anyone.

Better than I was expecting. Though I’d have called it “Slugs of Doom” myself! Would read more of these side stories.

Pretty good
