Produktbeschreibung

A threat written in the sky. A disabled girl no one takes seriously. A budding colony marked for death.

Blanche, a young paraplegic girl, spends long hours watching the strange clouds dancing in the Phoenix sky. She soon realizes that their coordinated figures signals a threat. Alas, the adults building their city discard her concerns. Even her shy sister Lupianne worries more about the oxygen plant's dropping quotas than some weird clouds.

Then, as the sky dances grow more complex and the temperatures rise to never-seen-before levels, the sisters must join forces to prevent the annihilation of their settlement.

If you like stories featuring a disabled heroine and her much put-upon sister, you'll love this clever planet-opera told by multi-award winning author Michèle Laframboise. Get Clouds of Phoenix to discover the strangest alien contact ever described in science fiction!
