The Skies We Watch: 10th Anniversary Special Edition of STRIKING MARS
About this ebook
Fleeing for their lives, Jess and Pavel make it to the Moon, narrowly avoiding the attack on Space Station 92-AE. They should be safe and happy, but they discover they are not alone on Tranquility Base. The stranger they encounter seems uniquely qualified to leak their presence to Chancellor Lucca Brezhnaya, especially when the Marsians contemplate airing Lucca's political dirty laundry. But Lucca has already shown she would destroy worlds rather than see her secrets exposed.
THE SKIES WE WATCH is the fifth book in a science fiction adventure series set in a dystopian future where colonization on Mars has survived for centuries without any contact with Earth, until now.
About the author
Cidney Swanson writes unforgettable characters who are genuinely shocked to find themselves thrown into perilous Sci-Fi/Fantasy situations. Well, except for the heroine from Mars. Come on. How shocked could a Mars colonist be to find herself in Sci-Fi peril? After they get over their shock, her characters start kicking butt and taking names, and usually do some kissing along the way. Cidney’s complex plotting and character arcs have garnered a few nice awards, including Kirkus Reviews Best in Teen/YA 2012, an SCBWI Spark Honor Book award, a Kay Snow award, and the 2020 Good Story Grant. When she’s not placing her characters in peril, Cidney can be found obsessing over her neurodiverse-driven special interests (Disney history, Mars, and Shakespeare). Cidney writes full time, dividing her year between Oregon and Florida with her family and entirely too much rain.
