Cytonic

Spensa's life as a pilot for the Defiant Defense Force has been anything but ordinary. From her earliest days, she exhibited extraordinary skill and determination, quickly proving herself to be one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus. She has faced and defeated the Krell, an enigmatic alien species that has kept her people captive for decades. In doing so, she saved her people from the brink of extermination. But her journey didn’t end there.

After travelling light-years from her home planet as a spy, Spensa infiltrated the heart of the Superiority—the governing galactic alliance intent on dominating all of human life. There, she discovered a galaxy far more complex and dangerous than she ever imagined. Now, a galaxy-wide war looms on the horizon, instigated by the Superiority. Even more troubling, Spensa has witnessed the terrifying weapons they intend to deploy: the Delvers. These ancient, mysterious alien forces possess the lethal capability to annihilate entire planetary systems in an instant.

Despite the valiant efforts of the Defiant Defense Force’s pilots, Spensa realises that they stand no chance against such a formidable predator. However, Spensa herself is not just any pilot—she is Cytonic. Having faced down a Delver, she noticed something hauntingly familiar about it that hints at a deeper connection. If she can unravel the secrets of her own identity, she might become more than just another soldier in this escalating conflict. She might hold the key to saving the entire galaxy.

The path to this revelation though is fraught with peril. To uncover the truth about her powers and her purpose, Spensa must venture into the Nowhere, an uncharted and enigmatic realm from which few ever return. This journey demands unparalleled courage and resilience, as she confronts fears that could shatter even the steeliest of resolves.

In Cytonic, Brandon Sanderson crafts a tale of epic proportions filled with intense action, deep emotional struggles, and a richly imagined universe.
