Earth Flight by Janet Edwards
continues the adventures of Jarra, teenage archaeologist, military
adviser, and accidental celebrity. While Jarra waits for news from
the Alien Contact programme, she and Fian deal with prejudice against
the Handicapped from all sides. Fian's father disapproves of their
relationship, and vids of Jarra on the newsies trigger terrorist
attacks.
To the prejudiced, Jarra's Handicapped
status disqualifies her from military work on the alien artifact,
never mind that she helped discover and activate it in the first
place. The fact that the Beta clan is about to officially accept her
membership with pomp and circumstance only makes her enemies
determined to dispose of her, before her very existence turns their
status quo inside out.
Then, when Alien Contact's research
into the alien light artifact finally leads to a breakthrough, it's
much worse than any one could have imagined. Earth needs Jarra to go
on an off-world mission, where her Handicapped immune system will try
to kill her. Jarra always thought she wanted to go off-world, but now
she has more to lose than ever – her friends, the love of her life,
and, either way, the Earth itself.
Earth Flight
is the exciting conclusion to Edward's debut YA SF trilogy. Beginning
with Earth Girl, Janet
Edwards brings the reader a future humanity that is as complex and
unique as its present, with characters whose love for life make them
burn bright as flame. Jarra begins the series as an Earth girl
passionate about archeology and social prejudice against her kind,
but with much to learn about those she derisively calls norms.
Through Earth Star,
Jarra develops deeper relationships with Fian and the rest of
humanity as they all confront a dangerous alien sphere orbiting
Earth. In Earth Flight, Jarra
must reach deep into her new found maturity to put her life on the
line.
From
archaeological “digs” involving lasers and earthquakes, to
off-world portals that shut down during solar storms, Janet Edward's
Earth Girl trilogy
will have readers on their toes from the start. Earth
Flight finishes the series with
alien spheres that hold the key to the past, and therefore the
future, of humanity's numerous worlds.
Read them now!
