On the 12th anniversary of his mother's disappearance, Zahn camps out on the island summit, his slumber destroyed by a brilliant object thundering down from the sky. And his slumber isn't all that the object destroys. In a frenzy, he sprints down the mountain, coming across a large crater in the silvery sand. He reaches in, pulling out a triangular plate made of a strange material, moonlight sliding off of it at strange angles. Conflicted over what to do, Zahn hides the fragment in his room for days, knowing that if he brings it to the observatory, they'll confiscate it, and then he might never learn the truth. Then, in the middle of the night, Zahn is awoken by a tapping at his window. He opens it, and to his shock, it's a man wearing a silvery uniform. There's more to what Zahn found on the beach than he could have ever imagined, and he's swept up into a galactic adventure with a cryptic captain and a living starship. Along the way, he encounters the Vakragha, a species bent on consuming entire stars. And to Zahn's horror, he learns that they're heading toward his homeworld. Only the Tulari, a stone that can heal the wounds they cut into space, offers any hope. But saving his world isn't all he has to worry about. Just when Zahn lands on a moon stolen by the Vakragha, he makes a breakthrough, finally learning his mother's true fate. Now he is faced with a heartbreaking decision that could either save his world or doom it forever. Action-packed, with a scope as ambitious as Star Wars, THE TRUTH BEYOND THE SKY will leave you energized and hungry for more.
What Top Reviewers Say...
"This is a great story...Definitely an amazing adventure for all...The descriptive scenes captivate the imagination and one truly feels a part of the story." --AudiobookReviewer.com "It was tough to look away. What's really interesting about this book is how multi-layered it is... Zahn's story manages to pull from the world around us, while also incorporating elements of mythology and hero epics. This is a coming of age story of the highest caliber." --Jessica Nottingham (Creator of HopelessBibliophile.com) "A swift & compelling read. It's fun and I recommend it if you enjoy science fiction epics." --Michael Coorlim (Galvanic Century series author) "I was immediately drawn in by the vivid descriptions at the beginning of the story. The author has a knack for fully immersing a reader into the hero's plight, and I felt like I was hurtling through corridors of light alongside Zahn." --Erica Lane (Creator of FantasyBookLane.com) "Quite difficult to put down; I found myself up until 2 AM a couple of nights." --Retired Techie, Reviewer "The bad guys were nasty and believable, Zahn 'manned up' and he could be me and I could be him, and the story moved. The ending? Yep, its in for a second book." --J. Thomas Beaton, Author of Duality Inc.
