Without warning, the world comes to an end. The sky looms frigid white. The electric grid falters. Airplanes everywhere crash to the ground.
Within moments, the sky comes down in a crushing sheet of light, and everything and everyone are gone-except for Hannah and Amanda Given. Saved from destruction by three fearsome and powerful beings, the Given sisters suddenly find themselves elsewhere: a strange new Earth where restaurants move through the air like flying saucers and the fabric of time is manipulated by common household appliances.
Soon Hannah and Amanda are joined by four other survivors from their world-a mordant cartoonist, a shy teenage girl, a brilliant young Australian, and a troubled ex-prodigy. Hunted by enemies they never knew they had, and afflicted with temporal abilities they never wanted, the sisters and their companions begin a cross-country journey to find the one man who can save them-before time runs out.

This is a new author for me. I'd never heard it before and stumbled across the book while searching my libraries catalogue. I like dystopian fiction and the premise of The Flight of the Silvers really intrigued me. I really enjoyed this book. I don't think I've read a book that deals with parallel worlds before so this was really original for me. The book's packed with colourful characters and insane events. I found it entertaining. I'd recommend this. I will be reading the sequel next.
