Wings of Creation (The Silver Ship, Book 3)

Written by Brenda Cooper

Average Score: 55(4)

Joseph has succeeded in rescuing his sister, Chelo, from a pitched battle on the colony planet Fremont.  Now he and Chelo and the love of his life, Alicia, and all of their extended family, are finally returning home.  Halfway there, a probe intercepts them, sending them new coordinates and a message from Joseph’s enigmatic supporter and teacher, Marcus. 

War is brewing.

Joseph is wanted for escaping to save Chelo.  To stay safe, Joseph must bring his family and friends to the renowned planet of Lopali, where men and women can fly, and peace and freedom abound.  Or do they?  Alicia has always wanted to fly, but the modifications that give humans wings kill as often as they work.

Joseph must learn to actually change humans, to free the fliers of a tyranny that has enslaved them, since their species was born.  If he can do this, the fliers have agreed to help him stop the war.  But it’s not as easy as it seems.

A fascinating culture of winged humans with exotic customs and strange alliances adds extra depth [to the novel]

I think that Cooper posits some interesting questions in Wings of Creation, but the narrative is ultimately just a pause before a storm...

Cooper provides interesting characters and a fascinating world. However, Joseph, while expressing concern over Chelo and Alicia, seems to operate at an emotional remove.

Review Rating: 20
I hate saying this after two decent books in this series but 'Wings Of Creation' is a definite mis-fire.
