Inherit the Stars Part 1: Flight (The Inherited Stars Series) Kindle Edition

by Laurie A. Green (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 18 ratings
NOTE: This is PART 1 of a three-part serialized novel. INHERIT THE STARS is also available as a complete novel through Amazon.

IN INHERIT THE STARS -- PART I: FLIGHT

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.


ABOUT THE INHERITED STARS SCIENCE FICTION ROMANCE SERIES:
The year is 3500 AD—more or less. No one really keeps track anymore. Since the fall of peacekeeper planet, LaGuardia, two centuries before, much has been lost. Few remember that LaGuardia was once known as Draxis. Fewer still have knowledge that Draxis once guarded a spatial vortex—a crossrip in time and space—and passageway to a legendary world called Earth where the human species originated. Somewhere, hidden in a forgotten archive, is the written history of the known universe and the chronicles of the men and women who helped forge a future in the stars.


Author LAURIE A. GREEN is an award-winning, USA TODAY bestselling author and space enthusiast.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, unconventional story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019

    I just finished reading this fascinating unconventional story in the Sci-Fi genre that is a part of Inherit the Stars. It is a thought-provoking story about space travel, slavery, and spine chilling drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is a part 1 and part 2 that definitely should be read together.

    The captain of the Spectre she's mentioned predominantly another stories, but this is her romance. You get an intimate in depth in regard to Captain Drea's character. Sair is a slave and unique.

    I know this review is vague but other reviews what do you give you more to the story. I highly recommend this book as an intriguing change to the regular sci-fi stories you have read. I also would give this a seven star instead of an five. I can hardly wait to read part 2 in the series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent SFR

    "Inherit the Stars: Flight" is an excellent start to a new SFR trilogy from an up-and-coming new author.

    Told from the POV of the hero alone, this love story is a rollercoaster of politics, personal growth, and the redemptive power of love. The world-building is really good, the editing terrific, and the characters very engaging. The larger universe raises questions that propel the story. The Romance is hot, bittersweet, and at times a bit heartbreaking.

    This novel ends on a cliffhanger, but the good news is that the second story is already available.

    I loved this story and have already purchased book two.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting perspective
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015

    Spoiler Alert: This first in a series ends with a cliff hanger. I don't know how you feel about that, but it's not my favorite way to go. I prefer the Happily Ever After For Now version. It's a preference thing. Hence the four stars.

    As for the content, seen entirely from one person's point of view (Sair, our hero)...YOWZER! You find out things when Sair finds them out. Really makes for a compelling read because Sair, in trying to save his own life, stumbles into a situation way out of his comfort zone. AND...he's fed information on a need-to-know basis, as are you.

    Snappy dialogue. Strong characters. Steamy virtual and not so virtual sex.

    Well done, Laurie. Thanks for the roller coaster ride!

    Although I am a newbie to Sci-Fi, I had no trouble “interpreting” INHERIT THE STARS PART 1: Flight! Green writes all the galaxy/spaceship details with such good context clues that I was able to completely understand this futuristic romance. And what a romance!!! Fugitive slave, Sair, escapes the Ithian Alliance into the starship—and arms—of Captain Drea Mennelsohn. Great love scenes—both virtual and real! And I loved that the entire book was told from the hero, Sair’s, point of view! The end left me on an awesome hook, as I reached for the button to begin reading Part II. Write on, Laurie Green.

    The title of this book is a direct rip-off of the first book of the exceptional series written by James P. Hogan. Only in title does it even remotely resemble Hogan's work. I tried to read this book to see if I could get interested but the protagonist seemed to be more interested sexual adventure than escaping from his enemies. I lost interest quickly and put the book aside.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great SciFi Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2015
    I enjoyed the novella Farewell Andromeda very much, so I was eager to read this new story, which is Part 1 of a 3 part series. When Sair, a breeding slave on the run from the cannibalistic Ithians, who had kept him captive since he was a child, makes a deal with Captain Drea Mennelsohn to take him on board her ship, the Specter, he doesn’t realize just what a great decision that is. Told from the POV of Sair, we don’t have any idea of what the captain is thinking or what her motivations are. That’s part of the fun, since all we see is how what she does affects Sair and his feelings. He’s very confused by her actions, as well as by the attraction he is feeling for her, something he hasn’t felt since the loss of his mate a year ago. The only complaint I have is the instalove, since Sair has been with many women as a breeder and is still grieving the loss of the one woman he loved, it seems like he started having feelings very quickly for Drea. What I enjoy the most is the action, and although there is some great action, including a space battle that showed some of the technological marvels of the Specter, I would have loved to see more. The book ended on a cliffhanger, so I’m looking forward to reading Part II and Part III to get the whole story.
