The heartwarming and adventure-filled sequel to Trouble in the
Stars, in which Trouble, an adorable but dangerous shape-shifter must
travel the galaxy on a rescue mission with their best friend Electra and
a troublesome baby shapeshifter. Perfect for fans of Greg van Eekhout
and Geoff Rodkey.
After the adventure and havoc of escaping the evil General Smag, Trouble
is happy to finally be settling in to their new home with their best
friend, Electra, and the misfit crew of the Hindsight. Maybe danger is
finally behind them. But Trouble has a situation to deal with: training
the rescued baby shapeshifter and helping it figure out who--and
what--they are. But trying to be a good big sibling to a proto-being
isn't the only challenge facing Trouble.
Trouble's best friend, Electra, was taken from her home as a baby and
was raised at a military academy, where she was trained to become a
loyal StarLeague cadet. Now Electra is determined to rescue the other
cadets so they can have normal childhoods instead of becoming lethal
weapons, like her. Her plan? To infiltrate the academy as a senior
student and then engineer an escape by the entire student body.
Trouble knows they must help Electra carry out her plan. But when
Electra goes missing, Trouble, determined to rescue the rescuer, goes
undercover at the academy, even if it's not as easy as you'd think for a
shapeshifter to pretend to be a military cadet. Especially when Trouble
finds that the baby shapeshifter has come along.
Now Trouble must do whatever it takes to save Electra and the other
cadets--and figure out a strange mystery coming from the deep dark edges
of space. Because something's coming...
