A winner for a debut, Angelfyre
(Destiny) by Lydan Francis is a wonderful meld of science fiction,
dystopian, and space opera, a story with a setting in the distant future in the
twenty-fifth century, a time when humanity has experienced migrations in other
planets.
Human beings live side-by-side with the extra-terrestrial
race known as the Fel. With time, a new species occurs through the illegal splicing between humans and Fel, resulting in the hybrid called the Felsians, who
are eventually treated as low-class and unwanted citizens. But a young felsian
girl called Casey who lives with her foster human mother uncovers an artifact
that leads to the discovery of Angelfyre, a ship that has a life and
intelligence of its own, behaving like a real animal and having the ability to
feel and communicate with Casey. The cosmic community faces many threats, and
Casey and Angelfyre must determine their place in the struggle to preserve the
peaceful co-existence of galactic cultures. Can Casey succeed to win an
enviable place for her kind in a world that looks down at them?
Angelfyre (Destiny) is a fast-paced, unique blend of space-faring
adventure, and while it imagines a galactic world where different races share
the same space, the author examines social class and creates a conflict that
contemporary readers can still relate to. The young female protagonist is a
character that readers will want to follow, a girl from the class that is
considered sub-human or sub-fel, who makes an incredible discovery and sets out
on an adventure to create purpose with a unique spaceship. The world-building
is impeccable, with fearlessly imagined and perfectly written settings. The
characters are unforgettable and fully drawn, and the plot offers twists that
are hard to predict. You’ll root for Lydan Francis’ confident writing and bold
imagination. The images will be as vivid as any can be in your mind as you read
this page-turning story.
