Description



“When I was a little girl, the sun stopped. Life on our deck nearly ended, and I was punished for trying to save it. Years later, the threat seems bigger than anyone imagined. But there’s no one else who can put things right...”

Born aboard a multi-generation spaceship, 17-year-old Perdit is a widow, an outlaw, a fugitive, homeless, and jobless. She is also a pilot, an explorer, and gifted with unique genetic enhancements.

Unfortunately, the ship is damaged and off-course. The environment is deteriorating. The citizens are too hampered by protocols to acknowledge the danger, while the all-seeing Navcrew remain inaccessible.

Alarmed by the situation, and with the odds stacked against her, Perdit must overcome self-doubt, leave home, gather allies, and embark on a heroic mission to find the Navcrew and uncover the truth.

Fans of young adult science fiction adventures will want to travel with Perdit as she tries to save humanity.



“When I was a little girl, the sun stopped. Life on our deck nearly ended, and I was punished for trying to save it. Years later, the threat seems bigger than anyone imagined. But there’s no one else...

BEYOND THE CRYSTAL SKY Book 1 of Tales of the Navcrew
by Glen C. Strathy

This is Perdit's story. She tells of how she is 17, widowed, childless, an outlaw, and a fugitive. She is a pilot, she knows something is wrong with their spaceship and is determined to tell the Captain what is wrong. The Navcrew is in charge of the day to day running of the ship, they report to the Captain, but no one has heard from Navcrew in generations.

The book is set up in more of an interview form, which, normally I don't care for that type of layout, but the author did it well and it is easy to understand what is going on and what needs to change.

Highly recommend.

I received a complimentary copy of #BeyondTheCrystalSky from #StarFlungPublishing #StarFlungBooks #NetGalley I was under no obligation to post a review.
