Bright of the Sky: Book One of the Entire and the Rose

by Kay Kenyon

Bright of the Sky: Book One of the Entire and the Rose Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Kenyon has created her most vivid and compelling society, the Universe Entire. In a landlocked galaxy that tunnels through our own, the Entire is a bizarre mix of long-lived quasi-human and alien beings gathered under a sky of fire. Over all, the elegant and cruel Tarig rule supreme.

Review:

"At the start of this riveting launch of a new far-future SF series from Kenyon (Tropic of Creation), a disastrous mishap during interstellar space travel catapults pilot Titus Quinn with his wife, Johanna Arlis, and nine-year-old daughter, Sydney, into a parallel universe called the Entire. Titus makes it back to this dimension, his hair turned white, his memory gone, his family presumed dead and his reputation ruined with the corporation that employed him. The corporation (in search of radical space travel methods) sends Titus (in search of Johanna and Sydney) back through the space-time warp. There, he gradually, painfully regains knowledge of its rulers, the cruel, alien Tarig; its subordinate, Chinese-inspired humanoid population, the Chalin; and his daughter's enslavement. Titus's transformative odyssey to reclaim Sydney reveals a Tarig plan whose ramifications will be felt far beyond his immediate family. Kenyon's deft prose, high-stakes suspense and skilled, thorough world building will have readers anxious for the next installment." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Kenyon, noted for her science fiction world-building, has in this new series created her most vivid and compelling society, the Universe Entire. This is high-concept SF written on the scale of Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld and Dan Simmon's Hyperion.
