Sparrowfall Kindle Edition

Captain Luke S. Zeit is just another minor functionary in the Imperial Municipal Corps of White Guards, tasked with upholding security in Soma, the Cosm of ten trillion citizens. Overworked, underappreciated and all too disposable, Luke fears it’s just a matter of time before he and his colleagues are replaced by the new, elite White Legion. But when a key world comes under attack from forces unknown, Luke vows to redeem his division by hunting down the perpetrator before he – or she – strikes again.

Meanwhile, in a parallel reality, Eleanor Frith is embarking on the greatest adventure of her young life. Chosen to be the child star of a new science fiction blockbuster, she is determined not to let everyone down. So the occasional bout of feeling poorly, or the odd inexplicable bruise, isn’t anything to write home about.

Though they remain oblivious to one another in their different dimensions, the destinies of Eleanor Frith and Captain Luke S. Zeit are about to collide in ways that neither of them could have imagined.

SPARROWFALL is a fantastic voyage through manifold realities via love, loss, family, friendship, heartbreak, hope, dreams and life with leukaemia.

"Green's world-building is flawless." – L A Weatherly, author of the Broken trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and compelling mix of YA / scifi
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2021

I am a fan of all Nick Green's books and would recomend them to anyone interested in intelligent, characterful experimental fiction. He writes in a deceptively easy and engaging style but pulls the reader into the story, the characters and the worlds he builds in a strongly emotional and really satisfying way. In this case, there's two aparently disparate stories (one set in the contemporary world of a teenager almost accidentally landing a main film fole, one in a futuristic science fiction galaxy clearly very far, far away) and at first it's hard to work out where these two worlds will meet, until you start to experience odd resonances between the characters and situations. I loved both plots, although possibly the science fiction one a bit more (which is lucky, as there's substantially more of it). For those who are fans of a bit of tear-jerking teenage cancer heartache, it's there, but cleverly woven into the other plots in a way that never makes it seem maudlin or exploitative (which cannot always be said for some of the other writers indulging in such plotlines). There's also, in the background, the fantasy YA novel the film is based on, which weaves in and out of both stories in a tantalisingly oblique way, and which I'd pay good money to read if Nick ever felt like writing it! Overall, though it's a thoroughly enjoyable and honestly moving book, and a great read for anyone who likes older teenage YA / scifi. Very much recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and engaging
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed this clever and engaging story, or rather, two stories. The narrative takes us between a sci-fi adventure and a contemporary YA story of a teenager chosen to play a leading role in a movie of her favourite book (which itself forms a fragmented third storyline.) It sounds complex, and you do need to pay attention as you read, especially in the early chapters, but it's well worth it. The two main storylines are well-balanced and I was intrigued to see how they'd fit together. I found myself equally invested in both parts, though I especially loved the world-building in the sci fi sections.

Intelligently written with great attention to detail and completely different to anything else you're likely to come across. I'll be looking out for more by the author.
