Fans of Sanderson will not be disappointed. . . .
Sanderson delivers a cinematic adventure that explores the defining aspects of the individual versus the society.
But Spensa also discovered a few other things about herself--and she\'ll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to.
Humankind has always celebrated heros, but who defines what a hero is? Could humanity be the evil the galaxy needs to be protected from? Spensa is determined to find out, but each answer she discovers reveals a dozen new questions: about the war, about her enemies, and even, perhaps, about Spensa herself.
Everything Spensa has been taught about her world is a lie.
When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars--and what they revealed to her was terrifying.
And she\'s sure that whatever happened to her father that day could happen to her.
Spensa is sure that there\'s more to the story.
Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.
The rumors of her father\'s cowardice are true--he deserted his Flight during battle against the Krell.
She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned there were crushing.
All her life, Spensa\'s dreamed of becoming a pilot and proving herself a hero like her father.
