Publisher Description
Firefly meets The Breakfast Club in this snarky, new adult romance.
The sun is dying … and it’s happening way too damn fast.
With the clock ticking, the Nine Planets’ only hope of survival rests on a fancy space station and the alien artifact it’s carrying. Which is why it really sucks when some jackass doesn’t want the universe saved and blows that station up—while you’re still on it.
So if your only choices are flaming death or stealing a flying hunk of space junk—you pick that busted-ass spaceship. Even if it leaves seven strangers with deadly secrets trapped together: a princess, a prisoner, a con artist, a warrior, a priestess, a mercenary, and an a*****e in charge of us all.
Now every faction in the galaxy is hunting this ship—from the Sisterhood to the Corporation, and the rebellion’s joining in on the fun, too. We just need to stop drinking, fighting, and screwing long enough to evade them all and save the freaking universe … somehow.
Because apparently the only thing standing between a dying sun and ultimate salvation is seven unlikely misfits … ahem, heroes.
Customer Reviews
Fix this please.
I like the book, but the chapters cut off and skip to another one in the middle of it.
Writing acceptable. Character development awful.
Normally, if I don’t like a book, I just stop reading it and delete it. But this might be the absolute worst thing. I’ve read in the past five or six years. The writing is adequate if unexceptional. The problem is that the characters are childish, shallow, and utterly unlikable. Iona Andrews wrote in one of her books that the difference between a child and an adult is that a child thinks everything is about them. The universe could be on fire, and all the frame of reference that they have is how it affects them. How scared they are, how uncomfortable, etc. Every character in this book is like that. I was so annoyed by the end of the first chapter, that I wished they would all die in the initial space station explosion.
I would say that about 90% of the author’s focus is on having the characters describe how they feel, how they look, and what their priorities are- most of which revolve around clothing, how sexy they think their fellow characters are, and emotional reactions to what other characters say. I got halfway through the book, and almost nothing has actually happened other than these long-winded internal monologues by characters who honestly seem like they’re about 11 years old instead of the claimed 19 to 25.
Something’s wrong with this book
I’m in the middle of the book and the chapters cut off abruptly and start another one or they start to repeat. This needs to be fixed ASAP!
