Sun Strike

by J L Pawley

All we wanted was to be safe. To be free. Was that so much to ask? Just when everything finally seemed to be going right … our own bodies have been turned against us. And our time is running out.

The Flight, grief-stricken, exhausted and starving, are struggling to survive. The police and the sinister Evolutionaries are closing in, the Angelist church is splintering, and social media is crawling with conspiracy theories.

Meanwhile, the Flight’s emotional relationships grow strained and ever more complex. Confessions of old truths and the pull of family threatens the stability of the group, just as new Icari make contact.

Trying to take control of their future, the Flight turn to the internet to ask for help. But as events spin out of control and a deadly virus threatens, their only way forward is to uncover the past.

Can the Flight finally find their place in the world, and be accepted for who they are?

[Ricky · Rating 5 out of 5]

This latest iteration of Generation Icarus reaches its conclusion in three books instead of four, although Pawley does indicate in the acknowledgments at the end of the book that there could yet be more adventures in the pipeline for the Flight. And yet, if this is the end of the road, it's been a great one for these characters, even if they pass along a terrible case of "post-dramatic Jess disorder" to the readers every time. But while this book brings everything to a rapid boil before wrapping the story up, it's also got a lot of sweet, heartful, and humorous friendship and relationship moments. Personally, though, my favorite is when Hawk and Falcon discover what TVTropes calls "Oh Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!" But in true bromance fashion, they lean into the ridiculosity and tease each other like Fawk is, in fact, a seaworthy ship. And in true Flight fashion, I declare this series ave atque vale, at least for now...
