About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I loved the first one so much I picked up the second one the first day it came out. I was expecting it to be like the first book with two main characters being totally different from eachother but alas I was wrong about that. Jubilee and Flynn weren't the best main characters and I was expecting so much more from them. The parts I actually liked were the parts where the old characters came back Lilac and Tarver and they were engaged. Maybe they will give us a novella on how that happens but overall OK story

Sci Fi I absolutely loved this book , it's now one of my favorites.Amie and Meagan are now my favorite authors and i can't wait to read their other books.

The first is still my favorite but I love the ties between the two books! So much more than a love story!
