Amy Kathleen Ryan’s GLOW

In Amy Kathleen Ryan’s Glow (Sky Chasers) (September 13, 2011; St. Martin’s Griffin; $17.99; 320 pages), two young lovers on a ship bound for New Earth are attacked by their supposed allies and separated. Now they must find a way back to each other to save themselves, their ship, and the most important mission in human history: preserving the future of the human race.

Waverly and Kieran have grown up on the Empyrean, and the ship is their entire world. But unknown to them and the rest of the Empyrean’s crew, their sister ship, the New Horizon, was unable to conceive a generation to continue their mission, and now they’ve come for what they need: young girls.

In a violent battle, Waverly and the other girls are kidnapped and taken aboard the New Horizon, which is under the tight control of Anne Mather, a dogmatic leader willing to do anything to populate New Earth with her followers. But Pastor Mather finds a worthy adversary in Waverly. Meanwhile, Kieran is left in charge of the Empyrean in the wake of the attack, and must find a way to lead a group of unruly boys in a desperate struggle for survival. Kieran must first vanquish the darkly brilliant Seth Ardvale, his rival both for the Captain’s chair and for Waverly’s heart.

In this thrilling first installment of The Sky Chasers series, readers will race through the pages to find out if Kieran and Waverly will ever see each other or their families again, and if this dangerous mission marks the end of the human race, or a new beginning.
