Get Out of Our Skies! By: E. K. Jarvis
In "Get Out of Our Skies!" E. K. Jarvis explores a futuristic world where the boundaries between land and sky are blurred, and humanity's struggle for liberation and self-discovery takes center stage. Set in a far-flung future, the novel follows a diverse cast of characters as they navigate a complex society governed by powerful airships and radical ideologies. One of the book's strengths lies in its intricate world-building; Jarvis constructs a remarkable universe that is reminiscent of steampunk, blending elements of both fantasy and science fiction. This captivating setting serves as the backdrop for a thrilling and thought-provoking narrative that intertwines social commentary with swashbuckling action. The characters in "Get Out of Our Skies!" are vividly rendered, each with their distinct voice and motivations. The protagonists, particularly the fiercely determined Reina and the enigmatic pilot Kellan, are compelling, complex individuals who drive the story forward.

With a deft hand, the author tackles issues such as class inequality, discrimination, and the corrupting influence of power. These thought-provoking themes lend depth and substance to the storyline, elevating it beyond mere entertainment and inviting readers to reflect on their own world. However, while the book's intention to deliver a powerful message is admirable, the execution occasionally falters. At certain points, the narrative becomes overly didactic, veering into heavy-handedness. The dialogue, in particular, occasionally feels stilted and unnatural, detracting from the overall flow of the story. These minor flaws, however, do not overshadow the book's many merits. "Get Out of Our Skies!" is a thrilling journey into a unique and imaginative world, firmly anchored in relevant social issues. E. K. Jarvis's adept storytelling and well-crafted characters make for an engaging read that sheds light on the complexities of human nature, prejudice, and societal change. Despite its occasional missteps, this novel offers an enjoyable and thought-provoking experience for both fans of science fiction and readers interested in exploring the deeper themes of rebellion and liberation.

In his own office, Tom paced the floor in front of the three window exposure, watching the heavens for the results. They weren't long in coming. The eyes came first. Eyes the size of Navy dirigibles, with pupils of deep cerulean blue, floating against the backdrop of the gray cumulus. The long lashes curled out almost a hundred feet from the lids.
