ABOUT THE BOOK
Author: Melissa Landers
Release date: February 2, 2016
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Summary:
Life in the outer realm is a lawless, dirty, hard existence, and Solara Brooks is hungry for it. Just out of the orphanage, she needs a fresh start in a place where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. She's so desperate to reach the realm that she's willing to indenture herself to Doran Spaulding, the rich and popular quarterback who made her life miserable all through high school, in exchange for passage aboard the spaceliner Zenith.
When a twist of fate lands them instead on the Banshee, a vessel of dubious repute, Doran learns he's been framed on Earth for conspiracy. As he pursues a set of mysterious coordinates rumored to hold the key to clearing his name, he and Solara must get past their enmity to work together and evade those out for their arrest. Life on the Banshee may be tumultuous, but as Solara and Doran are forced to question everything they once believed about their world—and each other—the ship becomes home, and the eccentric crew family. But what Solara and Doran discover on the mysterious Planet X has the power to not only alter their lives, but the existence of everyone in the universe...

Hey there, booklovers!
I’m author Melissa Landers, and I’m
thrilled to announce the release of STARFLIGHT, the first in a brand new sci-fi
series from Disney-Hyperion. I originally pitched this story to my editor as
“Overboard” (one of my favorite romantic comedies) meets “Firefly” (an amazing
show that was tragically cancelled after one season). STARFLIGHT follows the
misadventures of Solara Brooks, a penniless felon who indentures herself to her
high school nemesis, Doran Spaulding, in exchange for passage to a new world.
But when Doran’s memory is temporarily erased, Solara convinces him their roles
are reversed—that she’s the master and he’s the servant—and leads him onto a
renegade spaceship, where intergalactic shenanigans ensue. STARFLIGHT is very
different in tone from the Alienated trilogy, but the story is still filled
with all the things I love: humor, heart, and adventure.
What do reviewers have to say?
“Get ready for blast-off! Action-packed and utterly addictive, nobody writes like Melissa Landers. A smart, satisfying romance set in a vividly detailed world, Starflight was just plain fun!” –New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman
“Teens will be bracing themselves during the swashbuckling action scenes. A great choice for fans of raw sci-fi action, reminiscent of the lawlessness presented in the television series Firefly.” –School Library Journal
“A lively tale of romance, space pirates, conspiracy, and made (as opposed to genetic) families.” –Booklist
If you like your sci-fi adventure served
with a side of romance, I hope you’ll pick up a copy of STARFLIGHT today. It’s
now available in stores and online.
