But Tarver has never felt more out-of-place than he does aboard the starship with its sneering aristocrats and their synthesized versions of perfection and beauty – he’d rather be home, with real people. His last great heroic deed earned him the distinguished rank of Major, and an upper deck berth on LaRoux Industries’ flagship starliner, the Icarus. A scholarship case, the son of a teacher and a poet, Tarver enlisted in the army at sixteen years old and quickly made a name for himself as a leader and a soldier. If there’s one thing Tarver Merendsen knows, it’s that he doesn’t belong with the high society crowd aboard Icarus‘ upper levels. It has been a long, torturous wait until These Broken Stars‘ December release date, but finally, at long last, IT IS TIME. When we were contacted by the authors to host the official cover reveal earlier this year, I was ecstatic – I became even more enthused when I had the chance to meet both writers at BEA this year and got my grubby paws on a copy of this much-coveted ARC.
Why did I read this book: I have had this book on my radar for literally over a year. How did I get this book: ARC from the Publisher (via BEA) Stand alone or series: The first part of the Sleepless Series (collected in the full-length novel of the same name in 1993). But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.Ī timeless love story, THESE BROKEN STARS sets into motion a sweeping science fiction series of companion novels. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder-would they be better off staying here forever?Įverything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. It’s a night like any other on board the Icarus. Genre: Science Fiction, Young Adult, Romance
