Inherit the Stars - The Complete Novel (The Inherited Stars Series) Kindle Edition

by Laurie A. Green (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 71 ratings
STEAMY SCIENCE FICTION ROMANCE...JUST WHAT THE GALAXY ORDERED!

To escape the merciless Ithian Alliance, Sair, a fugitive slave, makes a desperate deal with Drea Mennelsohn, captain of the prototype ship, Specter. But putting his life in the hands of a woman as mysterious as she is beguiling could turn out to be the biggest mistake of his life, especially when the price on his head begins to escalate.

Drea seems to want far more from the fugitive than just payment for his passage on her ship. Though neither can deny the sizzling chemistry and growing bond between them, Sair must soon make an agonizing decision that could result in the loss of the remarkable woman he has fallen in love with—and their chance to inherit the stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cutting edge tech meets old-fashioned heroism
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019

    This is a lively read, with skillful worldbuilding. The book begins with a daring escape, slows down a bit so readers can get to know the characters, then pivots into a suspenseful space adventure with ultra-high stakes and villains you love to hate. The romance is slow burn, and a bit different than the usual fare because it’s told from the male character’s point of view. In a refreshing twist, Drea, the woman, is the one with the secrets. And such imaginative secrets she has! Like a lot of good science fiction, it explores the effect technology has on people.

    One of the best things about this book, for me, is that obstacles standing between the hero and the heroine and their happy-ever-after are organic to the story. No silly misunderstandings that drag on forever even though they could be solved with a quick conversation. The obstacles between the lovers leave you wondering, “Wow, what would I do in that situation?” No superficial story here, which is probably why I liked it so much.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for Fans of Science Fiction, Romance, or Both
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    We read much more science fiction than we do romance in this house, but this is a great read for fans of either genre. The characters are well developed and the scenes are described in depth -- nothing superficial here. This book has action and suspense, with (of course) romantic undercurrents. It's a good read and we're looking forward to more work from Laurie A. Green.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the time to read
    Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    What an extraordinary story. It would make a great movie. It’s got betrayals, wars, admirals making unpopular decisions and races that kill and eat people. Even better, it has several couples that find love in the non-stop chaos and let me tell you, those were fabulous love stories embedded amongst all the craziness going on.
    It’s highly imaginative, well-written, and I couldn’t put it down, reading it in one very long day.
    It’s long, (114k words) but it was worth the time spent reading.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Original space opera romance with well-defined tech
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015
    Format: Kindle
    Sair’s been a tribute slave to another race since before adolescence. He manages to escape the palace where he serves, but needs a way offworld. He finds a beautiful prototype ship and convinces the captain, Drea Mennelsohn, to take him aboard and drop him off somewhere safer. As he grows more fascinated with Drea, he finds that she and her mission are more complicated than he could have guessed. Together they could change the fate of known space.

    Our couple make sympathetic rebels against the evil Empire. Sair is grieving. Learning to let go is never easy, and just because he likes, wants, and is grateful to Drea, they can’t commit until he releases his guilt. This is handled in a way that feels natural and relatable, even if I don’t know anyone whose losses are as awful as his. He wants to do right by the people he feels he left behind and those he cares about. I would treasure a friendship with him. Drea is a fascinating character. She has a disability that many potential partners would blanch at, but she makes the most of her limited life. That Sair is willing to work through it even though he thinks it’s difficult speaks well of him. I would love to pick her brain. The way she experiences events and space must be breathtaking, even if she finds it lonely. She bears a complicated burden, so wanting something for herself is rather risky.

    The ship’s functionality and technology are introduced gradually. We learn about the Specter’s combat systems and cool features as they’re used, so it does not feel overwhelming and we can savor each nifty invention. There’s a scene about droids mating that I would have blushed at, were I physically capable. I didn’t know inorganic interactions could be that hot.

    The epilogue ties up all the loose ends a reader wants to know about. Everyone gets their just desserts.

    Drea and Sair are immediately attracted to each other, and as soon as she sees him she knows she’s going to take him on her ship. Uh, why? Because she felt a spark? Fate? The story is told from Sair’s perspective, though we get some of Drea’s at the end of the book. He finds her helpful and attractive, she does unprecedented things regarding him just from a first meeting. It seems impulsive and at odds with the rest of her behavior.

    I enjoy learning new terms as they fit into a world, especially when they are not things I have names for now: spectro-drones, neuraltron, microcell. However, I am confused why there are new terms for units of time in this book: calendars, haras, tempas. If they are just years, hours, and minutes, using a new term makes me have to exert effort to stay immersed in the book. I assume everything’s being translated to English from several alien tongues for our benefit, so why weren’t the words for units of time translated as well? If they are different concepts, I’d like to know how they differ. The most disruptive word for me, though, is ‘gerabunga.’ It makes me think of heroes in a half shell, breaking my reading trance. That it’s the last word of the book following an emotional scene feels disorienting.

    Also, Drea has a brother named Ry? What was their father thinking? Dreary?

    I found several aspects of the world and characters to be original and fresh, and the author surprised me more than once.

    I found this book while reading PORTALS, a first chapter sampler of 10 different science fiction romances. The first chapter intrigued me enough to buy this book. I'm so glad I did! This was an exciting and fun read, and I look forward to reading more in this series.
