Book 1 of the Skyward Flight series
FM and the other pilots of Skyward Flight remain on Detritus while Spensa is away, facing a new mission involving the strange slugs whose abilities may be crucial to humanity’s survival. FM’s growing understanding of the creatures challenges assumptions about cytonic technology and about what counts as a weapon or resource. The mission also develops her relationship with Rig and her place within a team forced to improvise without its most famous pilot. Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson’s Skyward novella broadens the Cytoverse through a supporting character while connecting alien biology, friendship, and wartime necessity.
