Seventeen-year-old Jessica is about to be teleported to a post-extinction planet in deep space to be reunited with her scientist parents that she hasn’t seen in six years as they embark on their latest research project. Something goes terribly wrong and Jessica wakes up alone in a lander that is destroyed from a crash, with bloody handprints everywhere. What happened? Why are there graves outside?
STAR SPLITTER was a gripping YA science fiction thriller. I loved the dual timeline. All of the characters were fantastic. The title comes from Robert Frost’s poem ‘The Star-Splitter,’ a portion of which is included at the beginning of the book. References to the poem are weaved throughout the book and add depth to many of the thought-provoking questions that arise while reading. I guessed some of the major twists but still enjoyed the book very much as it’s well written. This is a book that I’m glad I didn’t read many reviews prior to starting as knowing less going into it is probably best.
STAR SPLITTER was an unputdownable and very thought-provoking YA science fiction thriller that I’d definitely recommend. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I’d be interested in checking out his other works.
Thank you to Dutton Books for the giveaway copy.
