Description

A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now-infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness LaRoux Industries' corruption. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were the only survivors of the Icarus shipwreck, forced to live a double life after their rescue.Now, at the center of the galaxy on Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players in the fight against LRI. Gideon Marchant is an underworld hacker known as the Knave of Hearts, ready to climb and abseil his way past the best security measures on the planet to expose LRI's atrocities. Sofia Quinn, charming con artist, can work her way into any stronghold without missing a beat. When a foiled attempt to infiltrate LRI Headquarters forces them into a fragile alliance, it's impossible to know who's playing whom--and whether they can ever learn to trust each other. With their lives, loves, and loyalties at stake, only by joining forces with the Icarus survivors and Avon's protectors do they stand a chance of taking down the most powerful corporation in the galaxy---before LRI's secrets destroy them all. The New York Times best-selling Starbound trilogy comes to a close with this dazzling final installment about the power of courage and hope in humanity's darkest hour.

Booklist Review

In the third book in the Starbound trilogy, charming hacker Gideon (aka The Knave) and con artist Sofia Quinn are thrown together literally when both are discovered trying to infiltrate LaRoux Industries headquarters. Both have scores to settle with powerful CEO Roderick LaRoux, as do reintroduced characters and lovers Tarver and Lilac (These Broken Stars, 2013) and Flynn and Jubilee (This Shattered World, 2014). Each of the six has lost loved ones as the result of LaRoux's misguided quest to bring about world peace by conquering all the intergalactic countries, and each faces the threat of losing his or her own life as the Whispers take over Lilac's body and mind during LaRoux's final effort to overpower humanity. Kaufman and Spooner have deftly dovetailed characters, worlds, and experiences across the three novels, while emphasizing each couple's independent lives and love stories. The strong duality of voiced chapters, the tension-filled climax, and the sweet, satisfying conclusion will thrill sci-fi, love story, and adventure readers alike.--Bradburn, Frances Copyright 2016 Booklist

Horn Book Review

After a botched infiltration of LaRoux Industries, hacker Gideon and con-artist Sofia team up to take down the corrupt intergalactic corporation that hurt them both. Neither realizes that more is on the line. High-stakes action and cameos from series favorites culminate in a satisfying trilogy conclusion (These Broken Stars; This Shattered World). Snarky dialogue counterbalances danger to keep things from getting too dark. (c) Copyright 2016. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
