A young pilot finds her place on Klandor

On the alien planet Klandor, 17-year-old Lennis Firth is known mainly as the quieter younger sister of a prominent voice on the colonization committee. When a ship brings new colonists to Fairleigh, Lennis is the only pilot willing to cross Cyclone Alley to retrieve would-be chief engineer Yuri Gregovich. Their developing partnership puts her capabilities into view against a community where unattached young women are expected to remain on the sidelines. The third book in the Klandor Rising series, Klandor Enterprise combines a new-colony setting with questions of gender expectations, recognition, and who gets to contribute to community decisions.

  • Readers interested in young adult science fiction with an alien-planet colony setting.

Book overview

She's the younger sister, always in the shadow of her older sister, on an alien planet, where her best friends are not even human.

They're always 'the girls', the two only unattached 'maidens' on the planet. And they are expected to just sit there and look pretty, look after the youngsters, and look on as the men make the significant decisions and do the real work.

Her sister's brashness hasn't really helped either. Now she's labeled 'the quiet one', while her sister has 'a voice' on the colonization committee.

Enterprise brings new colonists to the nascent town of Fairleigh, and 17 year-old Lennis Firth is the only pilot who dares brave Cyclone Alley to fetch the Fairleigh leader. Yuri Gregovich, Klandor's would-be chief engineer, is at first insulted by the youth of the pilot sent to get him, but somehow her name keeps coming up as the solution to every problem he meets, and an unlikely partnership is formed.

 

Klandor Enterprise is Book 3 in Klandor Rising. Book 1, Klandor Encounter, is a finalist in the 2025 Realm Awards.
