Siblings Hannah and Amanda Given have never had an easy relationship. From an early age, they have fought. Now they find themselves, along with four strangers, trapped in a new world. Their old world is destroyed, as only the odd bracelet placed on each of them has saved them from certain death. Will they learn to navigate the new world as well as their strange new abilities?
THE FLIGHT OF THE SILVERS is the first book in the Silvers series. I love the depth of the character development as well as the creativity of how the apocalypse of the old world (our world) occurs. The animosity between the two sisters helps shape the interactions of the other characters. Getting to know Mia, David, Zack, Theo, Hannah, and Amanda is a definite highlight of THE FLIGHT OF THE SILVERS as Daniel Price brings their characters vividly alive.
The storyline spends a large amount of time focusing on how the characters learn and develop their new abilities. However, this became almost tedious as the characters became caught up in their own melodrama and we see versions of the same scenarios repeating themselves. The twists involving Evan are brilliant but so few and far between as it appears we will have to wait till the next book to see how all of this plays out.
THE FLIGHT OF THE SILVERS is a science fiction story that will appeal to readers looking for a lengthy and very character driven storyline. The alternate world is fascinating as is the science behind it and I'm sure that fans of this type of story will enjoy Daniel Price's THE FLIGHT OF THE SILVERS.
Book Summary
A thrilling genre-bending saga about six
extraordinary people whose fates become intertwined
on an Earth far different from their own.
Without warning, the world comes to an end for Hannah and
Amanda Given. The sky looms frigid white. The electricity
falters. Airplanes everywhere crash to the ground. But the
Givens are saved by mysterious strangers, three fearsome and
beautiful beings who force a plain silver bracelet onto each
sister’s wrist. Within moments, the sky comes down in a
crushing sheet of light and everything around them is
gone.
Shielded from the devastation by their silver
adornments, the Givens suddenly find themselves elsewhere, a
strange new Earth where restaurants move through the air
like flying saucers and the fabric of time is manipulated by
common household appliances.
Soon Hannah and Amanda
are joined by four other survivors from their world—a
mordant cartoonist, a shy teenage girl, a brilliant young
Australian, and a troubled ex-prodigy. Hunted by enemies
they never knew they had and afflicted with temporal
abilities they never wanted, the sisters and their
companions begin a cross-country journey to find the one man
who can save them—before time runs out.
Brilliantly
imagined and electrifying from the first page, The Flight
of the Silvers is the thrilling first book in a
genre-bending new series.
