Publisher's summary
The second book in the genre-bending Silvers series - an io9 "can't miss" science fiction pick - about six extraordinary people whose fates become intertwined on an Earth far different from our own.
After their world collapsed in a sheet of white light, everything and everyone was gone - except for Hannah and Amanda Given. Saved from destruction by three fearsome and powerful beings, the Given sisters found themselves on a strange new Earth where restaurants move through the air like flying saucers and the fabric of time is manipulated by common household appliances. There, they were joined by four other survivors - a sarcastic 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 began a cross-country journey to find the one man who could save them.
Now, only months after being pursued across the country by government forces and the Gothams - a renegade group with similar powers - the Silvers discover that their purpose on this unfamiliar Earth may be to prevent its complete annihilation. With continually shifting alliances and the future in jeopardy, the Silvers realize that their only hope for survival is to locate the other refugees - and determine whether they can be trusted or not.

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

It was a day like any other. Except it was our last.... It’s on this day that Pounce discovers that he is, in fact, disposable. Pounce, a styilsh "nannybot" fashioned in the shape of a plush anthropomorphic tiger, has just found a box in the attic. His box. The box he'd arrived in when he was purchased years earlier, and the box in which he'll be discarded when his human charge, eight-year-old Ezra Reinhart, no longer needs a nanny. As Pounce ponders his suddenly uncertain future, the pieces are falling into place for a robot revolution that will eradicate humankind.

At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery - and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth - and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery...and the tools for fighting back.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Been waiting for this!!
I loved the first book. I love how different the "magic" system is, considering it's not really magic...
This book had a few sophomore slump sections, but overall, it moved the story along very well. The character development that engaged me in the first book, continued.
The biggest twist actually caught me off guard--because the author had me second guessing myself throughout.
I love these books, and I believe this one was well worth the wait.

Next huge miniseries?
I’ve read and listened to the first two books in this series multiple times. Can’t wait for the third.
These books would make the greatest tv miniseries!
Looking forward to finding out who they cast.

Great follow up
I didn’t want it to end. Now I’ll have to wait until the 3rd book comes out. I’m looking forward to it.
Also, the narrator is fantastic. He makes me forget that a male I’d doing the female voices.

Loved it
I bought this book by chance, and was so glad I did. I couldn't stop reading once I started. I read the first book and then this one right afterwards. It has a very interesting storyline and likeable characters. If you read science fiction at all then get these books.

Overall a good story. Some questionable details..
All in all, I enjoyed this story quite a bit. It was a good followup to Flight of the Silvers, but it's going to be more than a little frustrating waiting a couple of years for the next installment of this to come out. At some point later, I plan on going through the book and marking up the questions that I had regarding details on various powers, especially those used by the Pelletier family.

Awesome story, awesome narration
I didn't want this book to end. Having read the first one, I was skeptical about listening to part two. But the narration was excellent, he brought all of the characters to life and I loved them even more. Gripping story brought to life by great narration.

great audio book!
book one was somewhat difficult to get into, couldn't feel a base for quite a while. having said that, by the end of #1 i was definitely wanting more, so, onto book 2, Song of the Orphans. this was a super book, slowly began to see characters as real people, came to be able tho see into their hearts, even though they are fictitious.much better job bringing you into the story, rounding out the characters,as well as keeping me pretty surprised. i found myself getting anxious as danger would draw near...holy cow! this is definite worth the listsen, as many purchase was audible book.
