Secret Sky

The Young Universe

De: T. Alan Horne

Narrado por: Andrew Eiden

The stars speak in a language of secrets, yet their stories cannot remain hidden forever.

Billions of years ago, on one of the first-ever Earths, a boy named Skylar will walk away from his home for the last time. Beset by dreams where he flies through the early universe as a sentient starship, he will never be safe if his secret gets out. His only chance to stay alive is to fall in with the same knights who destroyed his peasant village and live under the shadow of the king who sent them to exterminate Skylar’s people.

But powerful dreams have a way of shaping reality, and with each midnight flight across the cosmos, Skylar finds his world—and himself—changing. Magic is another thing which should only exist in dreams, yet Skylar has it—one more secret that needs keeping.

Against a waking life full of monsters, warriors, swords, sorcery, treasure, and ancient mysteries, Skylar has only one key for putting all the pieces together: the Secret Sky that haunts his sleeping mind.

Skylar’s journey through a world of knights, sorcery, and ancient mysteries is as thrilling as it is profound, making this book a must-read for fans of imaginative and heartfelt storytelling.

What happens next!?

Fresh idea. Very enjoyable. Every character is not what the seem. Easy to listen to narrator. I am anxiously awaiting Volume two.

Imagination Gone Wild

Secret Sky: The Young Universe by T. Alan Horne is a spellbinding tale of imagery and sci-fi that any child would want to hear. Skylar lived on ancient Earth, but when the Knights killed his parents as their King commanded, Skylar began his dreams as a starship, taking his knowledge from the stars. He later ends up living with these Knights as their brother. The author and narrator did a fantastic job with this story. I kept wanting to know what would happen next. My imagination was going wild as if I were there. I saw Earth from a different perspective; I believed that the stars had that kind of power to guide Skylar. I felt he went through many emotions, but the secret sky in his dreams kept him and helped him. The story had so many enjoyable twists. I loved every minute of it. The audiobook is excellent for children, but I must be a child at heart because I loved it.

Great Read for Adults as well

Engaging Story, unique ideas with lots of quotable lines. The narrator was also a character in the story so the audio book narrator needed to be engaged in the story as well. Andrew Eiden did a superb job. The subtile humor came through because the narrator seemed to be enjoying the book as much as the reader!

My 7 year old and 5 year old boys also loved it, especially the dream sequences. Still waiting for the promised frozen yogurt from the author!

Magical universe for children

My kid loved this book! He couldn't put it down and it made me want to listen to it as well. My son told me to look up for other books by this author and to buy him this book in a paper version as well. One Christmas present to go!
