Hallöchen. :) Der Januar ist vorbei und mein lieber Scholli, was für ein Monat das für mich war. Am meisten wurde er durch die Longlist Nominierung von PHAROS gekrönt. Kann es immer noch gar nicht richtig fassen xD Kommen wir zum Wesentlichen. Cover Monday wurde von Maura von The emotional life of books ins Leben berufen und jeder, der mitmacht, präsentiert quasi ein schönes Cover :)
Heute habe ich mich für dieses tolle Schätzchen entschieden. Starflight von Melissa Landers. Das Buch wird morgen erscheinen, aber leider erst in anderthalb Wochen bei mir einziehen. *seufz* Ich freue mich schon sehr darauf. Ich muss sagen, hier hat mich das Cover zum Kaufen gebracht, denn es vermittelt genau das, was es sollte: das Genre. SciFi. Melissa Landers ist außerdem für ihre Liebesgeschichten bekannt zB in Alienated. Ich habe schon viel Gutes über sie gehört und meine Erwartungen sind hoch.
Das Cover gefällt mir wegen dem goldenen Staub so gut, der perfekt integrierten Schrift und der Galaxis im Hintergrund. Ein absoluter Volltreffer, wenn man auf diese Art der Cover steht, wie ich finde :)
Darum geht's:
Solara Brooks needs a fresh start, someplace where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. The outer realm may be lawless, but
it's not like the law has ever been on her side.
Still, off-world travel doesn't come cheap; Solara is left with no choice but to indenture herself in exchange for passage to the outer realm. She just wishes it could have been to anyone besides Doran Spaulding, the rich, pretty-boy quarterback who made her life miserable in school.
The tables suddenly turn when Doran is framed for conspiracy on Earth, and Solara cons him into playing the role of her servant on board the Banshee, a ship manned by an eccentric crew with their own secrets. Given the price on both Doran and Solara's heads, it may just be the safest place in the universe.
It's been a long time since Solara has believed in anyone, and Doran is the last person she expected to trust. But when the Banshee's dangerous enemies catch up with them, Solara and Doran must come together to protect the ship that has become their home-and the eccentric crew that feels like family. (amazon)
Wie gefällt es euch? :)
