Review

A fast-paced adventure that delivers solid action sequences throughout. - Publisher's Weekly

This first novel is a refreshing departure from the strict dystopian trend. There are plenty of plot surprises and action sequences to keep the pages turning, and the treatment of terrorist attacks and environmental concerns will prompt readers to make connections with their own lives. - Booklist

The reader does not get shortchanged on action, so even reluctant readers will find plenty of entertainment. Because the main characters are depicted with both self-doubt and philosophical crises, readers who require more depth to their post-apocalyptic epics will be satisfied as well. - VOYA

Skyship Academy is the perfect book for teens that like science fiction. - SLJTeen

About the Author

Nick James grew up in the small island town of Anacortes, Washington. He graduated from Western Washington University and currently works as a substitute teacher in Bellingham. Inspired by the big drama and dialogue of comic books and graphic novels by Brian K. Vaughan and Brian Michael Bendis, James began writing at a young age. His love of fast-paced storytelling led to his debut, Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars, an action-packed science fiction novel for young adults.
