The Survivor

In this gripping sequel to the sci-fi thriller The Pioneer, Joanna Watson must come to terms with the loss of her old home, Earth, and work to create peace on the new planet she and the rest of humanity now call home.

Earth is uninhabitable. Tau is our home now.

With that terrifying message, Jo and her family learned the truth: They are trapped forever on Tau Ceti e.

Tau may be humanity’s last hope, but the planet’s current occupants — the Sorrow — are not interested in sharing. The fragile peace Jo negotiated abruptly shatters, and with it Jo’s confidence. Soon a bloody battle is raging between the Sorrow and the Pioneers, with Jo caught in between. As tensions rise, the survival of everyone Jo cares for seems less likely by the second.

When a betrayal that shocks Jo to her core threatens to wipe out both Sorrow and human life, Jo must find the strength to speak up once more — and bridge the gaps between all the warring factions — or lose forever the only home left to her.

An irresistible read for fans both old and new, The Survivor combines the electric action of the Illuminae series with the fierce and fearless heroine of Skyward for an unforgettable adventure.
