Wrath of the Sky is the sequel to the novel Sky Children.

Zechariah Jacobs got his wish – he told the people of the Northwestern Empire about the government nuking one of their own colonies – and now it’s time to reap the consequences.

Zech and the crew of his star ship, Ghost Dancer, battle their way home, after capturing one of the Empire’s media hubs, to transmit their pirate broadcast, which reaches every corner of the Empire. It’s a harrowing journey, full of dangerous battles that force Zech to push himself to greater feats of magic than ever before. They get home, but not without experiencing loss and hardship.

There, Zech soon receives a message from his aunt, the same reporter that helped them share their story. She tells him the Imperial Intelligence Core is angry and they won’t stop until the story has been suppressed, once and for all, by glassing Zech’s new home world, which would effectively wipe out all of the hard evidence.

Zech and his friends seek allies at every turn, starting with the ogres, then the pirates, their reclusive neighbors to the east and even some very odd aliens. At every turn, they get in deep trouble, but they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

After all, with an invasion fleet on the way, thousands of warships strong, which are packed to the gills with nuclear ordnance, they’ll need an entire fleet of their own. They make deals they may someday come to regret, but the need is so pressing, they don’t have time to consider consequences.

Will Zechariah and his people survive their brush with the Imperial Intelligence Core, or will their planet end up as a bubbling mass of lava salted with radioactive fallout?
