To test this hypothesis, he examined joint fluid from colleagues, employees and family members to identify biomarkers. The inspiration for Scuderi to create Cytonics was his belief that the source of joint pain was due to some compound that is formed when cartilage degrades because of arthritis. The members include professors, medical doctors and business leaders such as David Yeomans, associate professor of anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine at Stanford, neurosurgery expert Wayne Olan and orthopedic surgeon Thomas San Giovanni.

He has practiced as a spine surgeon since 1993 and has served as clinical assistant professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Stanford University. And this mission is terrifying.The founder and chairman of the board is Gaetano Scuderi, who is a medical doctor. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it.

Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.Įxcept that Spensa is Cytonic. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. And Spensa’s seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Now, the Superiority-the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life-has started a galaxy-wide war. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home.

She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell-the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary.

The third book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction from the author of the Reckoners series, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive.
