But as events unfold, their paths cross, and when they do, everything explodes. Told from Nika and Josune’s PoV, they begin their stories worlds apart. It’s all a glorious conglomeration of these elements, presented to us in the neat package of a standalone novel. The sister duo are growing as a writing team because STARS UNCHARTED steps everything up a notch: the characterization, the twisty plotline, the tension, the tech.
Dunstall may not have been on your radar unless you’re familiar with their first novels in the Linesman series (start with LINESMAN here). But when the Hassim arrives suddenly out of nullspace with company men on board (think pirate mentality but with corporate backing) and the original crew dead, Josune suddenly finds herself in a predicament.īut neither woman is without resources or smarts, and they must use all their wits to come out of this alive. Josune was recently hired as assistant engineer on the spaceship The Road to the Goberling, but she’s there to spy for her boss, the captain of the Hassim, who wants to learn something only Captain Roystan will know.
Unfortunately she ends up on the run anyway after her ex’s “co-worker” threatens Nika’s life.
She makes a business deal with his boss so her ex-boyfriend will leave the planet and harass other people instead. But even those famous for their abilities can make dumb decisions: like, say, hook up with a man who becomes an abusive boyfriend. Someone is trying to take down the New Alliance from within-and will use anything, even the lines themselves, to ensure its destruction.Nika Rik Terri is known as one of the best body modders (as in she modifies human bodies with her machines) in the galaxy. But the biggest threat comes from an unexpected source. As tensions mount, Ean and his former shipmates must unite to avert a disastrous conflict: the princess working within the tumultuous Alliance, Ean seeking the help of the impatient alien ships, and Ean’s close friend and bodyguard, Radko, embarking on a mysterious and perilous mission. His latest political maneuverings seem to be tilting the balance of control to Lancia’s favor-a move that not all members of the New Alliance are looking upon favorably. While the Crown Princess of Lancia seeks to share the new technology, her father, the Emperor, has other plans. Once they were thought of as tools, but since linesman Ean Lambert discovered strange new lines in an alien vessel, they have become so much more-symbols of a power too great to ignore. Mysterious yet familiar: the key to controlling every ship in the galaxy. In this captivating Linesman novel from the national bestselling author of Alliance, Ean Lambert finds himself caught in a dangerous fight for political power.
