YA, Sci-Fi
Life in the outer realm is a
lawless, dirty, hard existence, and Solara Brooks is hungry for it. Just out of
the orphanage, she needs a fresh start in a place where nobody cares about the
engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles.
She's so desperate to reach the realm that she's willing to indenture herself
to Doran Spaulding, the rich and popular quarterback who made her life
miserable all through high school, in exchange for passage aboard the
spaceliner Zenith.
When a twist of fate lands them
instead on the Banshee, a vessel of dubious repute, Doran learns he's been
framed on Earth for conspiracy. As he pursues a set of mysterious coordinates
rumored to hold the key to clearing his name, he and Solara must get past their
enmity to work together and evade those out for their arrest. Life on the
Banshee may be tumultuous, but as Solara and Doran are forced to question
everything they once believed about their world--and each other--the ship
becomes home, and the eccentric crew family. But what Solara and Doran discover
on the mysterious Planet X has the power to not only alter their lives, but the
existence of everyone in the universe...
My Thoughts
I think I drool a little whenever I look at this book. So.
Pretty. Plus, I really enjoyed Melissa’s Alienated
series (at least the two that have come out so far), so I’m excited to get my hands on this one.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
Glad you know about it now. Melissa Landers is a really great writer. :)
