Tina never worries about being ‘ordinary’—she doesn’t have to, since she’s known practically forever that she’s not just Tina Mains, average teenager and beloved daughter. She’s also the keeper of an interplanetary rescue beacon, and one day soon, it’s going to activate, and then her dreams of saving all the worlds and adventuring among the stars will finally be possible. Tina’s legacy, after all, is intergalactic—she is the hidden clone of a famed alien hero, left on Earth disguised as a human to give the universe another chance to defeat a terrible evil.
But when the beacon activates, it turns out that Tina’s destiny isn’t quite what she expected. Things are far more dangerous than she ever assumed. Luckily, Tina is surrounded by a crew she can trust, and her best friend Rachel, and she is still determined to save all the worlds. But first she’ll have to save herself.

Blending science fiction, fantasy, and queer identity, modern speculative fiction often addresses human resilience through imaginative worlds and genre-crossing narratives like All the Birds in the Sky. Author Charlie Jane Anders has established a distinctive voice in contemporary literature through award-winning novels, short fiction, comic books, and critical commentary. Her novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster is scheduled for publication in August 2025 by Tor Books.
Born in Tolland County, Connecticut, Anders grew up in the town of Mansfield and later studied English and Asian literature at Cambridge University, including time studying abroad in China. After living in Hong Kong and Boston, she settled in San Francisco. Her published writing includes well over one hundred short stories alongside non-fiction articles in venues such as McSweeney's, WIRED, The Paris Review, Asimov's, and Tor.com. In addition to prose fiction, she co-created Escapade, a transgender superhero for Marvel Comics, writing her into the New Mutants comic series, and authored the comic book Star Trek: Zero Point for IDW. Anders also serves as a science fiction and fantasy book reviewer for The Washington Post and co-hosts the podcast Our Opinions Are Correct with Annalee Newitz.
Anders's work frequently explores themes of community, explicit queerness, empathy, and the overlap between magic and technology. Her shorter fiction includes the Hugo Award-winning story "Six Months Three Days" and the Sturgeon Award-winning "Don't Press Charges and I Won't Sue," both featured in her collection Even Greater Mistakes. In addition to fiction, her creative writing guide Never Say You Can't Survive offers strategies for using storytelling to navigate difficult life experiences. Across her career, Anders has received major literary honors, including the Hugo, Nebula, Theodore Sturgeon, Lambda Literary, Crawford, and Locus Awards.
