Skyship Academy
By: Nick James
A devastated Earth’s last hope is found in Pearls: small,
mysterious orbs that fall from space, and are capable of supplying
enough energy to power entire cities. Battling to control the Pearls are
the Skyship dwellers—political dissidents who live in massive ships in
the Earth’s stratosphere—and the corrupt Surface government.
Jesse Fisher, a Skyship slacker, and Cassius
Stevenson, a young Surface operative, cross paths when they both venture
into forbidden territory in pursuit of Pearls. Their chance encounter
triggers an unexpected reaction, endowing each boy with remarkable—and
dangerous—abilities that their respective governments would stop at
nothing to possess. Enemies thrust together with a common goal, Jesse
and Cassius make their way to the ruins of Seattle to uncover the truth
about their new powers, the past they didn’t know they shared, and a
shocking secret about the Pearls.
“Skyship Academy is one of those books you’ll read straight
through if at all possible. I absolutely devoured it from page one. And
even though the story itself kept me captivated, I think the characters
became the part I Ioved the most. A definite must read!”
–James Dashner, New York Times bestselling
author of THE MAZE RUNNER and The 13th Reality series
