Spensa is in flight academy along with her flight mates Kimmalyn, Jorgen, BIM, Nedd, Arturo, FM, and others. This does mean she puts up with ill treatment from superiors & having to consistently prove her bravery. She means well though & honestly just wants to be accepted amongst her peers & judged fairly w/out the alleged sins of her father being brought up to play. This may be a action packed YA Sci-Fi but make no mistake! the characters are the icing on the cake ? Spensa our MC is a Sun Tzu quit lover with a ton of confidence that may often times come off a arrogance. Spensa’s path to becoming a Pilot comes with a ton of opposition, her father was labeled a coward for deserting his team during an all out attack.
The intel that has been gathered lets Spensa’s people know their enemy is more technologically advanced but their motives/agenda remain unclear. Not much is know about the mysterious ships that attack in the sky. Most have been recruited to become Pilots in order to continue growing their fleets & balance the scales against their enemy.
The world she lives in is constantly under attack & all that are left of the human race are fighting to stay alive. Spensa is a young girl who has always been told to reach for the stars by her father, the one person she holds in highest regard.
