Overview
Brandon Sanderson y Janci Patterson nos traen el primer libro de una nueva trilogía de altos vuelos protagonizada por el legendario Escuadrón Cielo, que afronta una mortífera misión galáctica para explorar un misterioso planeta alienígena.
Tras décadas de guerra contra sus opresores alienígenas, los humanos de la Fuerza de Defensa Desafiante por fin son libres. Sin embargo, para Arturo Méndez, líder del Escuadrón Cielo, la libertad no es lo que se había esperado.
Su primer encargo posterior a la guerra parece sencillo: la FDD ha encontrado pruebas de otros asentamientos humanos que quedaron aislados durante el largo enfrentamiento contra los alienígenas. Arturo y su escuadrón de pilotos deberán escoltar a un equipo diplomático que intentará establecer contacto. Es una misión fácil: llegar, proteger a los diplomáticos, marcharse.
Pero ningún elemento de la misión resulta sencillo. Infortunio es un lugar inhóspito, rodeado de misteriosos escombros y cubierto de unos bosques gigantescos e invasivos que se han apoderado de casi todo el planeta. A su llegada, el equipo de Arturo recibe un ataque y no tarda en resultar evidente que ese asentamiento de humanos no es lo que parecía ser.
Atrapados en un mundo desconocido y sin saber en quién confiar, Arturo y su equipo deberán buscar aliados y revelar unos secretos sepultados mucho tiempo atrás si quieren escapar y volver a casa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author who redefined modern epic fantasy, and acclaimed coauthor Janci Patterson comes the explosive first installment in a thrilling new Skyward Flight trilogy, as the legendary team embarks on a perilous mission to a mysterious alien world that could change the fate of the galaxy.
The special first edition of Blightfall will feature stunning sprayed edges and exclusive patterned endpapers!
After decades of war against alien oppressors, the humans of the Defiant Defense Force are finally free. Yet for Arturo Mendez, leader of Skyward Flight, freedom isn’t what he thought it would be.
His first postwar assignment seems simple: The DDF has found evidence of other settlements of humans who were isolated during their long war against the aliens, and Arturo and his flight of pilots are to escort a team of diplomats as they attempt to make contact. It’s an easy mission—get in, guard the diplomats, and get out.
But no element of this mission turns out to be simple. Blightfall is inhospitable, surrounded by mysterious debris and covered in giant, invasive forests that have swallowed most of the planet. Upon arrival, Arturo’s team is attacked, and it quickly becomes clear that this human settlement isn’t what it appears to be.
Now trapped in an unfamiliar world and unsure who to trust, Arturo and his team must find allies and uncover long-buried secrets if they hope to escape and return home.
