Synopsis

Murdered parents and a crippled spaceship. That’s what pirates left for thirteen-year-old Meriel Hope and the orphans from the Light Speed Merchant Princess. But according to the authorities, pirates didn’t exist, which defined Meriel as crazy. They buried the investigation and Meriel’s past with it.

Ten years later, Meriel has struggled to build a life for herself as a Cargo Chief on the Tiger working a circuit between Procyon A and Wolf 359. She’s kicked the mandatory drugs that controlled the nightmares and flashbacks and trained to Marine-3. And with five other marines on board, she’s taking no chances of another Princess.

But her past will not stay buried, and the most powerful interests in the galaxy will kill her for what she might remember. While trying to save the Princess from salvage, she trips alarms that protect those powerful interests …
… and the biggest secret in human history.

Meriel has only days to untangle the mysteries surrounding the Princess or face her own death. What she learns might bring interstellar war to the far-stars colonies.
... And she’s in the middle of it.

If you liked Serenity and Blade Runner and want more kick-ass heroines like Bobbie Draper or Ripley, you’ll like Home: Interstellar.

And don’t miss the next action-packed episode in Meriel’s adventures, Pandora’s Razor.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In 2177, twelve-year-old Meriel Hope solo-jumped into Procyon System with a ship full of dead people aiming straight for Enterprise Station.

“Great Story! Great World Building! ... engrossing and entertaining, and a plot full of twists and turns... awesome world building and character arcs...!” ***** Madhavi Ghare (Goodeads)

Murdered parents and a busted spaceship, that’s what pirates left to Meriel and the orphans from LSM Princess. But pirates didn’t exist, and for the space stations, that defined her as crazy.

After ten years of flashbacks, nightmares, and compulsory drugs, Meriel’s past will not stay buried. While searching for a mythical sanctuary called Home, she trips alarms that protect the killers ... and the biggest secret in human history.

Meriel has only days to untangle the mysteries surrounding her parents’ death or face her own. What she finds can save the far-stars from destruction, but it makes the orphans targets.

Again.

And this time they will not escape.

“...a pilgrimage with a haunted and haunting female character who combines strength and grace in a way that instantly wins the reader over to her perspective and her values, her every cause.” -- Writer's Digest

“Reminiscent of Ray Bradbury, early Heinlein, or Alan Dean Foster. Characters who are realistic, not perfect...” ***** Norma Mason (Goodreads)
