CloudWorld At War by David Cunningham
"Cloudworld At War is thrillingly dramatic, a heart-pumping tale set in a vividly-imagined world." -- William Nicholson, author of The Wind Singer, screenwriter of Gladiator. CloudWorld At War completes the story begun in CloudWorld, which received widespread acclaim and was nominated for the 2007 Manchester Book Award. In a world entirely covered in clouds, huge citadels stand on fertile mountains peaks. Having returned to their citadel, Heliopolis, Marcus and his comrades must find a way of persuading its oppressed population to rise up and defeat Titus, the dictator whose Kabal has seized control of it. The stage is set for an epic conflict. But will Marcus be able to face the man who killed his father? And will he be reunited with Breah, the young woman he left behind in Daldraidh, the sun-starved world beneath the clouds?
