About this ebook

Scout Shannon's whole family died the day the Space Farers dropped an asteroid on their domed city. Now she lives alone, out in the wild with only her dogs for company. She prefers it that way.


 


But Scout finds herself at a crossroads. One road leads back to a quiet life snug under the protective dome of a city. The other road leads to a life in the rebellion, a life of adventure and excitement but also danger. Dare she try to find the rebels hiding in the hills?


 


Then a chance encounter with a stranger from the other side of the galaxy threatens to derail what remains of Scout's life. The entire galaxy awaits her, if she survives the next four days.


 


"Under Falling Skies", a young adult science fiction novel, set on a remote planet with a distinctly Old West feel. For fans of gunslinging women and young girl assassins. And dogs.

    This book was a really great mix of genres that made it very unique. It's primarily a Sci-Fi story set on a planet where a solar flare forces our characters to take shelter in an old underground bunker for 4 days. This turns the entire thing into a great 'bottle episode' type structure which a murder-mystery style plot as members of the group are murdered one by one and the survivors try to figure out what is going on. It's got a really great and diverse all-female cast as well, featuring a few 'aliens', a lesbian couple, and a woman in the space version of a wheelchair. It's also got two adorable dogs and a cat. It was a really fun read and definitely not what I was expecting.
