A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now-infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness LaRoux Industries' corruption. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were the only survivors of theIcarusshipwreck, forced to live a double life after their rescue.

Now, at the center of the galaxy on Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players in the fight against LRI.
Gideon Marchant is an underworld hacker known as the Knave of Hearts, ready to climb and abseil his way past the best security measures on the planet to expose LRI's atrocities. Sofia Quinn, charming con artist, can work her way into any stronghold without missing a beat. When a foiled attempt to infiltrate LRI Headquarters forces them into a fragile alliance, it's impossible to know who's playing whom--and whether they can ever learn to trust each other.
With their lives, loves, and loyalties at stake, only by joining forces with the Icarus survivors and Avon's protectors do they stand a chance of taking down the most powerful corporation in the galaxy---before LRI's secrets destroy them all.
TheNew York Timesbest-selling Starbound trilogy comes to a close with this dazzling final installment about the power of courage and hope in humanity's darkest hour.

Maria Nastasia a dat nota:

Much like the first book in this series, this one grew on me as things went on – that is, I wasn’t hugely convinced of the weird relationship going on between the two protagonists at first, and Gideon’s real identity felt a little cliché, but as things moved on, I got won over. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy this book – I loved it – although maybe slightly less than These Broken Stars. Still, it was gorgeously written, well thought-out, and even the complex scientific elements were comprehendible where required.This is a trilogy where every book has its own unique story, and yet every book fits smoothly in a larger narrative – a feat in and of itself. The conclusion Kaufman & Spooner present here, however, goes beyond even that. Six protagonists. Six different and wholly unique characters, thrown together, fighting for the same cause yet with different motivations. Of course that’s going to lead to disagreements and different understandings of what’s right – vastly different, if I may say so. And since the reader’s grown to understand and love each one, whose efforts do you ultimately want to come out on top?

Recenzii

PRAISE FOR THESE BROKEN STARS

*"Lilac and Tarver are characters of depth, complexity, and strength, young people who alternatively elicit the reader's admiration, frustration, and sympathy... a testament to love, loyalty, courage, and the power of good over dystopian greed and perversity."—Booklist, starred review
PRAISE FOR THIS SHATTERED WORLD

"Kaufman and Spooner propose two well-developed protagonists and a well-rounded cast of supporting characters... Fans of the first book, as well as those who like impossible romance between two people on opposing sides, will enjoy this sequel."
VOYA
PRAISE FOR THIS SHATTERED WORLD

"Kaufman and Spooner prove that their first brilliant installment was no fluke with this strong second outing. They provide complex characters and a situation with no simple solution. There is action, a spark of romance, and a mystery, all set on a fully-realized planet. This should have broad appeal among teen and adult science fiction readers."
School Library Journal
PRAISE FOR THIS SHATTERED WORLD

"The authors' world building, their ability to combine unique and familiar themes, their talent for sustaining dual voices in the midst of romance and tension create a companion series that promises another world, another adventure, and, if we're lucky, another set of lovers, this time on Corinth."
Booklist
PRAISE FOR THESE BROKEN STARS

"Kaufman and Spooner's debut collaboration is a stunning, gorgeously imagined romance with epic sweep, brimming with lush detail of setting and intricate character study. It's the kind of read to savor, but the survivalist plotting still rushes the reader to keep turning pages."—Ingram Library Group
PRAISE FOR THESE BROKEN STARS

"One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful stories I've ever read."—Marie Lu,New York Timesbest-selling author of the Legend trilogy
