Earth Flight
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Jarra never wanted to be a celebrity. All she ever wanted was to gain some respect for the people left on Earth: the unlucky few whose immune system prevents them from portaling to other planets.
Except now she's the most famous Earth girl in the universe - but not everyone in the universe is happy about it, nor the fact that she has found love with a norm. Jarra's actions have repercussions that spread further than she ever could have imagined, and political unrest threatens to tear apart the delicate balance of peace between humanity's worlds.
On top of everything, the first alien artifact ever discovered appears to be waiting for Jarra to reveal its secrets. But to do so, she must somehow find a way to leave Earth - or else the alien artifact will be lost forever. Is there a way for Jarra to travel to another planet? Or is her destiny only to look to the stars - but never to reach them?

In this far-future trilogy's conclusion, a disabled archaeology student-cum-military hero deciphers an alien probe. In 2789, humanity lives on 1,200 different worlds, everyone teleporting effortlessly among star systems-except the fraction of humans who are born Handicapped, their immune systems viable only on Earth. Eighteen-year-old Jarra's Handicapped, and although she's accomplished great archaeological and military feats (Earth Girl, 2013; Earth Star, 2014), she feels trapped on Earth. As Jarra and her boyfriend, Fian, provide critical assistance to the Military in decoding an alien probe, anti-Handicapped hostility escalates to an acid attack and a bombing. Jarra's and Fian's combined intellects lead to complex realizations (which are exciting though out of the blue; readers are merely along for the ride): there is a danger to humanity that only Jarra can tackle-and only from a distant planet. To that end, she undergoes an extreme and risky physical operation. It cures her disability. (It also places scientifically necessary lights under her skin, coincidentally making her "more beautiful.") This wish-fulfillment ending severely undermines the series' social-justice theme about mistreatment of the Handicapped; moreover, it falls into the literary rut of magical cures, implying that (still-) disabled protagonists and happy endings are a mismatch. Readers captivated by the first two installments' thrilling archaeological excavations will find them absent here. Despite an exciting and complex plot, far less special than the first two.

Gr 8 Up-In this conclusion to the science fiction trilogy about Jarra, a teen whose immune system keeps her from traveling to space, the archaeology and military star is now a celebrity. But increasing prejudices, pressure to solve the mystery of an alien artifact, and her aspirations to travel to other planets motivate Jarra to buck conventions once again. Well-done world-building, an unforgettable protagonist, and an even-paced plot will satisfy sci-fi fans.
