by S. K. Ali
Concluding S. K. Ali's powerful duology, The Keeper's Records of Revolution, Golden Flight returns to a divided world with war on the horizon.
How difficult is it to crash the party of the decade? Literally crash it?
The Golden Flight happens once every ten years — a gala to honor elites fallen in service of maintaining Upper Earth's powerful hold on earth's remaining populace and dwindling resources.
It's a party where cunning new technology gets unveiled to masked revelers perpetually thirsty for fresh entertainment.
It's also a party Raisa and Nayf plan to infiltrate to bring down Upper Earth for good.
Even with a known traitor, and a mysterious, ruthless avenger in their midst, pulling off a dangerous mission in enemy territory feels possible with record-keeper Khalda at the helm. To crack into Upper Earth, simply find strategic details hidden in the records.
However, they soon discover the toll of running a crew with competing, secretive goals: the lines between friend and foe begin to blur to violent ends.
But on an oil rig at the edge of the world, the sun rises and shines on a team member no one knows about.
Will she bring the seed of hope or be the source of ultimate chaos?
Just who is she — and why does she know exactly how to end the world?
"Dystopian fiction at its breathtaking best; a duology closer enriched by interwoven real-world complexities." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
