Will
finding out about their pasts bring two people together—or tear an entire world
apart?
About the Book: Even in outer space there are dictators. Eiko, a crystal hunter for the Masaaki people, escapes marriage to a man she reviles. Forced to flee, she mourns the loss of her fiancé Hopper who disappeared thirteen years ago.
Hopper's
life is torn apart when he is kidnapped. His mind and body abused--leaving him
with no memory of the past. Now, as captain of the ship Amaya, he finds
information about the woman who haunts his dreams.
Trapped
and injured, Eiko is startled to find Hopper is not dead. His attempt to save
her is derailed when some of the same forces who put his kidnapping into place
abduct Eiko. Can Hopper, with Amaya, his living ship, their friends and the
Blessed Three bring down a dictatorship or die taking a stand for honor, and
right?
Our Review: There is no limit to the cast of characters, both primary and secondary, in this energetic and inventive story. Eiko, a woman of values and honor, will let nothing stop her from discovering the true fate of her beloved Hopper. Akino, aka Hopper, brutally injured and without much of his memory, is haunted by an unknown woman named Eiko. Regardless, he is a captain of high renown, with skills and intuition which place him above his peers. That his crew, both human and sentient, demonstrate their devotion Hopper every day in every way, speaks volumes for his character. Fans of this genre will take Found Among the Stars and keep it in their hearts.
Based on a scale of 1-5, Found Among the Stars merits a 4.
