Explosive action and swoon-worthy suspense collide in Steelstriker, the riveting conclusion to the Skyhunter duet from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu.As a Striker, Talin was taught loyalty is life. Loyalty to the Shield who watches your back, to the Strikers who risk their lives on the battlefield, and most of all, to Mara, which was once the last nation free from the Karensa Federation’s tyranny.But Mara has fallen. And its destruction has unleashed Talin’s worst nightmare.With her friends scattered by combat and her mother held captive by the Premier, Talin is forced to betray her fellow Strikers and her adopted homeland. She has no choice but to become the Federation’s most deadly war machine as their newest Skyhunter.Red is no stranger to the cruelty of the Federation or the torture within its Skyhunter labs, but he knows this isn’t the end for Mara – or Talin. The link between them may be weak, but it could be Talin and Red’s only hope to salvage their past and safeguard their future. While the fate of a broken world hangs in the balance, Talin and Red must reunite the Strikers and find their way back to each other in this smoldering sequel to Marie Lu’s Skyhunter.

Review

Praise for Steelstriker:”An exciting, layered, action-filled tale with a cast of sympathetic characters.” – Kirkus Reviews”A brutal but satisfying conclusion to a strong dystopian ­duology.” – School Library JournalPraise for Skyhunter:A New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller”Cinematically imagined… An exciting, layered, action-filled tale.” – Kirkus Reviews”Paradoxes abound and readers will glory in them all.” – Booklist”Suspense and high-action fights make this plot-driven story both fast-paced and brutal.” – School Library Journal”Lu (The Kingdom of Back and Legend) creates a devastating, war-torn world, built upon the wreckage of a technologically advanced society. Readers will eagerly await a follow-up to this engrossing dystopian novel, which searingly interrogates traumas of war, immigration, and imperialism.” – Publishers Weekly”Lu ably balances lightning-fast action and stirring battles with romance, weaving in enough bits of cultural history to give the story some grounding… This hearty but small group of Talin, Red, and a few more allies face formidable odds in the next outing, and readers will likely eagerly await news on how they fare.” – The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books (BCCB)”The high-stakes action (including graceful, deadly combat) more than once has readers fearing for the characters’ lives…In addition, Lu brings in themes of disability and prejudice to this science fiction tale with many of the markers of traditional fantasy.” – The Horn Book
