**SCIENCE FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH** - THE TIMES
"Skyward Innfeels like an instant classic of the genre." -The Guardian
"Rarely has a writer who is not Philip K. Dick had so much fun building a world only to take it apart."
- LA Times
Drink down the brew and dream of a better Earth.
Skyward Inn, within the high walls of the Western Protectorate, is a place of safety, where people come together to tell stories of the time before the war with Qita.
But safety from what? Qita surrendered without complaint when Earth invaded; Innkeepers Jem and Isley, veterans from either side, have regrets but few scars.
Their peace is disturbed when a visitor known to Isley comes to the Inn asking for help, bringing reminders of an unnerving past and triggering an uncertain future.
Did humanity really win the war?
