Miranda has plans of her own, though. She has developed a test for the virus that turned most of the population into little more than beasts called Ferals two generations ago. She needs Ben's help to rescue a group of her colleagues to perfect the test but first they must rescue themselves.

PRAISE FOR "FALLING SKY"
""Falling Sky" grabbed me right away and held me to the last sentence. Khanna's book is short, but sharp as a hidden knife. It's a fast ride, scary and twisty-turny, and it also has plenty of airships, zombies, and sarcasm, three of the best things in the world. It's also very well written--terse but punchy, like Hemingway meets "The Walking Dead." Ever since I read it, I've been much less comfortable about living on the ground (too exposed!), but it was worth it to spend some time with Ben Gold and the Cherub.'" TAD WILLIAMS, author of "Sleeping Late on Judgement Day: A Bobby Dollar Novel"
"Falling Sky"is a gritty and gripping post-apocalyptic thriller, a noirish blend of"Firefly"and"The Walking Dead" with a dash of Hayao Miyazaki. Welcome aboard the airship Cherub your next stop: adventure! E. C. MYERS, author of"Fair Coin"
Fast-paced and fiercely imaginative, Khanna s debut is a different look at a dystopian future.

PRAISE FOR "FALLING SKY"
A cool world with steampunk and zombies combined. . . . The voice is very real and gritty and I felt immersed in the world. Abercombie-edgy and a quick read at that.

Miranda has plans of her own, though. She has developed a test for the virus that turned most of the population into little more than beasts called Ferals two generations ago. She needs Ben's help to rescue a group of her colleagues to perfect the test but first they must rescue themselves.
