Laddertop

From the best-selling author of Ender's Game: Orson Scott Card (and Emily Scott Card) and illustrated by Honoel A. Ibardolaza comes Laddertop from Tor Books.

Laddertop tells the story of a bunch of children who compete to be one of the chosen students enrolled in the Laddertop Academy.  If chosen to attend and if they graduate they will become part of a select few who will maintain the Laddertop Stations.

The Stations were given to the human race by an advanced race of aliens known as the Givers.  The aliens gave humanity four giant towers, known as Ladders, that extend 36,000 miles into space.  From there they draw energy and power the entire Earth.

Suddenly 25 years ago the Givers vanished and no one knows why. Twenty-five years later two Laddertop Academy students: Robbi and Azure become embroiled in a mystery that unless solved threatens all life on Earth as well as the planet itself.

Drawn in the Manga style, Laddertop is an epic science fiction thriller that will keep reader glued to their seats until the unexpected conclusion of the first book in the series.
