Synopsis

Matthew Tanner is a young man living in an outcast village dreaming of more. He gets his chance and becomes a pilot flying a space freighter between a distant world and his own. As he works he finds out the truth of his parents murder and that his world is under the thumb of the planet's only corporation who run everyone's lives. He joins the underground and works to free his planet. This book is riveting. It'll keep you up all night turning pages until you finish.

NOT JUST FOR SCI FI FANS

I just finished Heavens' Shadow and found it a real pleasure. Clean, spirited writing makes this a great book for a broad range of readers. Although this book clearly belongs in the science fiction genre, the strength of the story and the distinctly human characters make this book accessible to anyone. Even if you're not a great fan of science fiction, give this one a try. I'm looking forward to more from Jeff Downs.
