One starship, six friends, 10,000 lives in the balance... Young captain-for-hire Kitra Yilmaz has gotten her first contract: escort the mysterious Princess of Atlántida beyond the Frontier and find her a new world. It's a risky job, fraught with the threat of pirates, dangerous squatters, and rising romantic tensions. Still, Kitra and her crew are up for anything - until they find a lush world, perfect for settlement...with an enormous ghost ship already in orbit. What secret does the crippled vessel hide? And is Kitra ready to take responsibility for its precious cargo? Praise for the Kitra Saga: "[The Kitra Saga] has a lot to offer: a diverse crew, convincing alien worlds, and an overall sense of adventure and companionship - with all the ups and downs it comes with." - Robin Rose Graves, Parallel Worlds Magazine "Kitra is successful in providing a compelling action/adventure tale while maintaining an emotional drive that proves to be the heart of the story... the reader is bound to fall in love with the characters and the relationships that develop along the way." - Dark Matter Magazine Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The suspense and adventure start with the discovery of the second habitable planet. As they approach the planet, they find a damaged colony settlement ship with 10,000 civilians housed in cryogenic chambers. The ship is severely damaged from an accident incurred in hyperspace, its crew is dead, and life support has failed. The only way to save the cryogenic population that is poised to revive in the damaged ship’s airless environment is to land the ship on the planet’s surface. Getting it ready for that landing and the setbacks faced create the suspense and love entanglements that enliven the story. After a harrowing descent, they successfully land the ship.
The book is written as a young adult science fiction story. It uses young characters who coexist as crew on a ship in harmony. They are given responsibility for finding an inhabitable planet for one colony and solving a life and death failure that could lead to the death of 10,000 citizens from another colony. Of course, all of these challenges are met and both colonies mutually claim the planet as their new home. It’s a feel-good story that everyone likes to read from time to time. ( )
