Book Description

The last Sky Ranger of the now-vanished Extrahuman Union, defeated by his former allies and detested by everyone else, fled Earth and the repressive Confederation in a desperate attempt to put the past to rest. But when his refugee ship crashes on a desert planet, his life is thrown back into chaos, and his future becomes less certain than ever. In that hostile environment, he meets abrasive, impulsive Renna, and Dee, a flighty, secretive orphan girl, who are the only two refugees who can stand him.

When Dee wanders into the wilderness, Sky Ranger chases after her, touching off a series of events that lead them and their companions from the deserts of Seera Terron through alien Räton space and into the very heart of the Confederation itself. Sky Ranger must confront his past and a intrusive, ruthless government if he wants to be able to save both Dee and what remains of his people, the Extrahumans, from utter destruction.

FLY INTO FIRE, the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed BROKEN, is a story of hope, adventure, friendship, and sacrifice, in a world where the only freedom to be found is within.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enthralling sequel! January 30, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
After reading Susan Jane Bigelow's first book "Broken," I had a hard time believing that her sophomore offering, "Fly into Fire," could be anywhere near that good.

Boy, was I wrong!

This engaging sequel follows the (relatively) minor character of Sky Ranger. This story takes place sometime after the end of the first book. The action-packed story spans worlds and brings back some of the characters from the first book, deftly blending those old characters with the new ones she introduces.

Among its many themes, "Broken" was a strong tale of identity and belief in self. In "Fly into Fire," Bigelow takes a character that was pretty much reviled and weaves a beautiful tale of regret and redemption....As the story went on, my heart literally ached for Sky Ranger.

The author has an unbelievable talent for creating vivid, three-dimensional characters. Even the minor characters in her books are just as interesting as the major ones.

I devoured this book in less than 24 hours....I literally did not want to put it down. It is that good. Susan Jane Bigelow has proved with this book that she not only has some serious writing talent, but that she's created a brilliant series that is remarkable and enthralling.

The story of the Extrahumans isn't over; there are more books to come in this series... and I, for one, can hardly wait. I'm thinking that giving Susan Jane Bigelow the superhuman ability to write faster might be a good idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy sequel. January 24, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This book proves that Broken (Extrahumans) was the start of an excellent series. Fly Into Fire begins a few years after Broken, capably covering the few years of history and moving on to tell a story that is every bit the equal of its predecessor. I began reading this book shortly after midnight and, even with interruptions for sleep and other obligations of life, I still finished it in far less than 24 hours.

Broken brought me back to a genre that I had stopped reading 25 years ago and I truly believed I did not like; Fly Into Fire has left me hungry for more, which, as the ending declares, will be coming. Both I hated to put down!

Disclaimer: I did not purchase Fly Into Fire book through Amazon, rather I received a copy of the ebook as a backer of the Kickstarter project. Also, the author is a close friend. Writing this review is of my own volition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Sequel April 18, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Premise: Sequel to Broken. When last we saw Sky Ranger, he had shaken off the manipulations of the oppressive government and was off to exact some unspecified revenge or justice. Or possibly both? This book follows Sky later as he deals with his past supporting the corrupt government and tries his best to protect the few other extrahumans that remain.

I liked this sequel quite a bit. I liked getting more about Sky Ranger, he's an interesting character. I liked the new characters as they were introduced, with all of their own troubles, and the return of some of the characters from the first book.

The mix of superheroes and sci-fi dystopia continues; there's more emphasis on the space travel and sci-fi aspects in this one. There were some scenes of torture that I found really unpleasant, but necessarily so.

The book basically opens with a crash landing, Sky Ranger and a group of other refugees fleeing Earth crash on a mostly-desert planet and have to survive there. I really loved Sky Ranger's relationships with Renna and Dee, two young women from the crash. The plot twists more than a few times, and actually does read like a comic, in that it's more several short plotlines strung together than one long arc. That's fine by me.

Action, adventure and heroes, sounds like a good read.

More About the Author

When I was little, I used to wander the woods and swamps around my home in Connecticut and make up stories. Very little has changed.

I'm a librarian and author, and I live in Enfield, CT. Right now I'm hard at work on more books!
