Hanna Storm: A YA Sci-Fi Hero for Our Time

Hanna Storm is the protagonist in my new YA Sci-Fi novel Hanna Storm: Intergalactic. She represents the kind of YA Sci-Fi hero I believe we all need today—a figure who faces immense challenges with resilience, curiosity, and compassion. In a world filled with uncertainty, Hanna shows us what it means to rise above adversity, build bridges, and remain steadfast in the pursuit of knowledge and fairness. I wanted to depict a role model who learned from her parents and used those lessons to not just endure, but to conquer any challenge she faced.


Let me share why I believe Hanna Storm is more than just a sci-fi adventurer—she’s a hero for all of us.

 

Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Hanna Storm’s journey is riddled with loss, danger, and betrayal, yet she never gives up. She teaches us that resilience is about more than enduring tough times; it’s about adapting, learning, and finding strength even when the odds are stacked against you.


When I wrote Hanna’s story, I wanted to reflect on the challenges many of us face—whether it’s personal loss, self-doubt, or navigating an increasingly complicated world. Hanna shows us that the greatest victories come from perseverance. She never quits.

 

Empathy and Inclusion in a Divided Galaxy

One of the qualities I admire most about Hanna is her ability to see the humanity in everyone she meets, including those who aren't human. She understands that even in a divided galaxy, she can build bridges that bring people together through empathy and understanding. In a time when division seems to dominate our own planet, Hanna reminds us that we’re stronger when we value our differences.

 

Leadership Under Pressure

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about being willing to take action when it’s needed most. Hanna often finds herself making split-second decisions that could mean the difference between survival and defeat. Whether she’s commanding a team or facing impossible odds, she leads with courage and clarity.


Hanna is a leader not because she’s perfect, but because she has courage to act. She doubts, she struggles, but she steps up when it matters most—a quality we can all aspire to.

 

Curiosity and the Spirit of Exploration

Hanna’s love for discovery drives her story. She’s fascinated by the stars, driven to understand the unknown, and willing to venture into the unfamiliar to seek answers. Her curiosity is a reminder that the quest for knowledge is as important as the destination.


I’ve always believed that curiosity is the gateway to personal growth. Through Hanna, I hope readers are inspired to embrace their own sense of wonder and never stop exploring.

 

A Hero for Today’s Youth

Hanna Storm represents the best of what we can be—resilient, compassionate, curious, and courageous. Her journey is one of self-discovery, but it’s also a call to action for readers to find their own strength to rise above the challenges they face.


Hanna is a character that readers can see themselves in—someone who inspires them to keep moving forward, no matter how daunting the path may seem.

Great read. I was completely captivated and couldn't put it down. It had a lot of good one liners where I caught myself laughing out loud. The story has some surprises. The author was able suspend my disbeliefs by explaining some of the irrationalities found in science fiction. Just get the book!
