The second in New York Times bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and
Meagan Spooner's sweeping science fiction Starbound Trilogy is an
unforgettable story of love and forgiveness in a world torn apart by
war, a "sci-fi Romeo and Juliet" (Booklist).
Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met. Lee is captain of
the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet's rebellious
colonists, and she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents.
Whereas Flynn is leading the rebellion against the powerful corporate
conglomerate that make their fortune by terraforming uninhabitable
planets across the universe and recruiting colonists to make the planets
livable, and rule with an iron fist and unrealized promises.
Desperate for any advantage against the military occupying his home,
Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths:
he returns to base with her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels
prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn
makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape
base together, caught between two sides in a senseless war.
