One pre-apocalyptic Earth. One desperate space mission to find a solution. One unexpected alien.<\/p>\n When Dr. Sakota Thorell signed onto the mission to scout out a new, habitable planet, she knew discovering extraterrestrial life was always a possibility. But she never expected to find an alien adrift in space, nor for that alien to be so intriguing. Sakota feels an instant and undeniable attraction to Astraeus, but he represents a million possibilities, and just as many threats.<\/p>\n There are others hunting Astraeus, and his rescue may cost Earth its last hope.<\/p>\n Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Review by Brandy<\/p>\n I received this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n Haley Cavanagh is a military veteran, wife, and mother.

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\nThis is an interesting one. A science ship is in space looking for a new planet as earth is dying. First<\/div>\ncontact with an intelligent alien species starts by finding him floating in space still alive. The medical<\/div>\ndoctor wants to study him, the head of security wants to use his own methods to get answers. Astraeus<\/div>\nhas a few tricks up his sleeve though, and nothing is exactly what it seems.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe doctor manages to get her way, but just barely.<\/div>\nSakota<\/div>\nmust find a way to get answers and quickly.<\/div>\nAs she learns more about the alien, she gets more and more drawn to his story. Of course, nothing is<\/div>\nstraight forward as Astraeus doesn\u2019t know who to trust, and there is danger in the depths of space, and<\/div>\nit is coming.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThere is a bit of romance, but not a lot and no adult content. The ending is a bit edge of your seat as you<\/div>\nwait to see who will survive, who will make a valiant last stand, and who gets taken out. There is some<\/div>\nviolence towards the end.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
