Product Description

Product Description

Az is one of the Airborn. With a stretch and a beat of their eight foot wings his people travel effortlessly around and between their cities, perched high above the clouds. Its a life of ease and airy beauty. Only Az has no wings, so in his glorious world of freedom and flight, he is a painful - and isolated - oddity. And then one day he is picked out for a job. A job below the clouds. The system of massive automated elevators which send up everything the Airborn need to survive, are breaking down - and threatening to take the Airborn society with them. Someone has to go down to the Ground to find out what has happened and Az, with his wingless similarity to the prehistoric Groundlings, looks to be perfect for the task of hunting for answers beneath the clouds. But on the Ground, in the vast shadows of the cities, Az finds more questions than answers: a benighted people who worship a dim notion of the Airborn and aspire to be like them. A people who fill elevators with tributes to their winged deities. A people who are beginning to think their way of life is part of a very un-natural order of things. And a girl called Cassie Grubdollar, who's definitely no angel . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic science fiction, 28 May 2009
By S. Martin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book pushed all the right buttons: a beautiful and fantastical world of evolved humans, hiding a dirty secret; a hidden and mysterious world down below; believable young adults with plenty of likeable detail; revolution and the promise of more trouble still to come.

Great stuff!

PS I am 38. No, really. Young adult fiction is my main staple these days as the stories seem so much more original than the standard adult stuff, especially in the worlds of SF and fantasy. Keep up the good work, YA authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son loved this! , 12 Sep 2008
By Deborah (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
I can't write a proper review of this as I haven't read it, but as it has no reviews, and my son (15) liked it very much indeed, I wanted to give it a recommendation. He intends to buy the next in the series when it comes out, and that's good enough for me!

(I've put the same recommendation under the 2nd book in the series)
