On Thursday, May 31, from 11 a.m. to noon, don’t miss your chance to meet Brandon Sanderson, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling "The Reckoners" series—the popular trilogy of superhero novels which includes Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity.
Sanderson will also discuss his latest novel, Skyward, which will be published later this fall.
He first announced Skyward on his blog last December:
“The official pitch is this,” Sanderson wrote. “Defeated, crushed, and driven almost to extinction, the remnants of the human race are trapped on a planet that is constantly attacked by mysterious alien starfighters. Spensa, a teenage girl living among them, longs to be a pilot. When she discovers the wreckage of an ancient ship, she realizes this dream might be possible—assuming she can repair the ship, navigate flight school, and (perhaps most importantly) persuade the strange machine to help her. Because this ship, uniquely, appears to have a soul.”
Thursday, May 31, 11:00 a.m. to noon, at the Publishers Weekly BookExpo Librarians’ Lounge (Booth 1856).
