nWhen a notorious space pirate is accused of intergalactic terrorism, her longtime cronies go after an unlikely recruit: her ambitious cadet granddaughter.n nNimah may have been born a RIM-rat, a hardscrabble kid from the far reaches of the galaxy, but now that shes a well-respected cadet at the prestigious STARS military academy, shes put her past behind her. Or so she thinks, until her future is obliterated by the return of her infamous space pirate grandmother, who abandoned her at a barren outpost fifteen years ago and is accused of setting off a bomb at the millennial summit for United Planetary Nation leaders.n nWhen her connection to Capt. Indira La Voz Roscoe is exposed by an anonymous source, Nimah is expelled from STARS. Devastated by the loss of all that shes worked for, she still doesnt quite believe that the woman who has always been the voice of refugees across the galaxy, bestowing the fruits of her heists upon the poor, is actually a killer. But when a member of her grandmothers old crew tracks Nimah down and delivers the news that Ro was set up, Nimah must make a choice. n nThe only way to regain what shes lost is to prove Ros innocence, and they cant do that if shes dead. The plan is simple-and insane: Nimah has three days to band together a motley crew of geriatric women plus a notorious thief, steal her grandmothers ship back, elude the powerful SIGA, and cross the void to save Ro before shes executed for intergalactic terrorism. Otherwise, her dreams and the last surviving member of her family will be lost forever. n nShould be easy work for a former RIM-rat. Or it would be if Nimah wasnt terrified to the bone of the void . . .n nA diverse and compelling cast of characters . . . A vibrant, richly imagined fictional universe . . . An appealing enemies-to-lovers subplot . . . Clever twists [that keep] readers on edge . . . [Flight of the Sparrow is] a story of identity, of loyalty, and of finding courage in the most unlikely places . . . a must-read for fans of spacefaring escapades . . . As emotionally resonant as it is thrilling. -Kirkus Reviewsn
