Beginning:
The dappled sunlight through the grass is beautiful, though I know it's not real.Friday 56:
I force my eyes to blink regularly for the screens eye-trackers, when all I want to do is squeeze them shut, to block out everything like an animal hiding its head in the sand.This week I am reading Their Fractured Light by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner. This one is from my TBR mountain. Here is the description from Amazon:
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 the Icarus shipwreck, 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.
The New York Times best-selling Starbound trilogy comes to a close with this dazzling final installment about the power of courage and hope in humanity's darkest hour.
Interesting teasers. Hope you enjoy it.

Could be a good fit for me. I'm always looking for more science fiction authors.
