A midnight fire in a Louisiana refinery seems like an unfortunate accident, until the fuel tanks of a dozen distant aircraft burst into flame at the same moment and expose a secret technology that blurs the lines between time, space, dreams, and memory.
Sixteen-year-old Jack Scatter lives far from the chaos, on Cirrus, a colossal space station with endless skies, pristine waters, and artificial mountains. Haunted by a recurring dream of fire and shadowy voices, he stumbles upon a downed military drone carrying forbidden cargo and becomes a target of the ruthless corporation determined to profit from Earth's demise.
Elsewhere on Cirrus, Sarah Rogers, a bright and determined student, answers Jack's distress call. Using her access to a network of surveillance drones, she helps him uncover a conspiracy that endangers both worlds. Together, she and Jack must risk everything to unravel the mystery, unmask the man behind the scheme, and prevent an apocalypse.
Set in the late twenty-first century, BROKEN SKY is a YA science-fiction adventure, the first of a trilogy where magic increasingly replaces technology, and genetically engineered dragons have political ambitions.
John Harvey (b. 1938) is an incredibly prolific British mystery writer. The author of more than one hundred books, as well as poetry and scripts for television and radio, Harvey did not begin writing professionally until 1975. Until then he was a teacher, educated at Goldsmiths College, London, who taught literature, drama, and film at colleges across England. After cutting his teeth on paperback fiction, Harvey debuted his most famous character, Charlie Resnick, in 1989’s Lonely Hearts, which the English Times called one of the finest crime novels of the century. A police inspector noted for his love of both sandwiches and jazz, Resnick has starred in eleven novels and one volume of short stories. The BBC has adapted two of the Resnick novels, Lonely Hearts and Rough Treatment (1990), for television movies. Both starred Academy Award–nominated actor Tom Wilkinson and had screenplays written by Harvey. Besides writing fiction, Harvey spent over twenty years as the head of Slow Dancer Press. He continues to live and write in London.
