Keep Fighting

Keep Fighting
Earthfall · Book 3

We are not your room.

The hush is dead. The second song works. A wounded ark hangs beyond the Moon, and the thing that tore the Choir wrecks open has noticed the lamp.

Tomas Mirekin has a stolen ship named for a dead woman, a pair of cracked glasses, and a twelve-year-old in a coat too big for her who can hear the difference between a room and a door. June Dace will conduct awake. Colonel Abernathy will take any throat that will turn. In Nederland, his mother comes down the mountain for one night because he asked, and goes back up because she meant it.

Colonies arrive in ones and twos. Converts walk out of the pens with dark circlets. Some of the thirty-six spires fall. Some are claimed. Some stay the enemy's and go quiet.

They can hide inside the dying house and live. Or they can stay visible, and accept that the silence can find them too.

Keep Fighting is the final novel of Earthfall, the illustrated science-fiction series that began with First Snow and continued in The Last Homecoming and The Second Song.
