They Both Die at the End meets Gravity in this mind-bending sci-fi mystery and tender love story about two boys aboard a spaceship sent on a rescue mission, from two-time National Book Award finalist Eliot Schrefer.

There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.In order to survive the ship’s secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work together and learn to trust each other . . . especially once they discover what they are truly up against.

    Finding out that everything you believed and trusted in is a lie and then seeking comfort in your hot “enemy,” is something I support 100% and would also do. The first chapter was a bit slow but once everything started to fall in place there was no stopping

    Süßes Cover hinter dem sich ein Science Fiction Thriller verbirgt

    Ich würde das Buch generell dem Genre Science Fiction zuordnen. Es hat aber durchaus Elemente eines Thrillers. Mir hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen und es hat mich durchgehend gut unterhalten. Nach der ersten Enthüllung ungefähr in der Mitte des Buches dachte ich "Was kann denn jetzt noch großartig passieren?" Tja, so einiges! Alles, was ich zum Inhalt des Buches sagen könnte, wäre ein Spoiler. Auffallend ist, dass das Buch in 6 Teile gegliedert ist und keine Kapitel enthält. Als inhaltliche Trennung werden Angaben über noch durchzuführende Aufgaben genutzt. Über die Aufgaben erfährt man leider nicht ganz so viel.

    Emotionslos, ohne irgendeinen Sinn hinter all dem. Viele unlogisch Situationen. Schade.
