What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
When you don't know The Rules it's hard to stay safe. After a traumatic incident, Aster finds that her blood work comes back with some unusual readings. Unsurprising, as she's the last of an alien race called the Kibsu. But Aster doesn't know this. Immediately, Aster finds herself the focus of a hunt, with her mortal enemies, the Trackers, on one side, and the American government on the other. There seems to be nowhere she can run. But help often comes from the most unexpected quarter . . . One thing is certain. Whoever finds Aster first will hold the fate of the Kibsu - and our world - in their hands.

Critics Review
Praise for Take Them To The Stars series
Sylvain Neuvel proves once again he deserves the title of the hottest new SF writer of the 21st century
Series fans and readers of speculative thrillers built around actual historical events will eagerly anticipate book three.
…[T]he stakes of this series have risen exponentially
Praise for Sylvain Neuvel
It’s fascinating to see how Neuvel weaves together fact and fiction . . . a blast. Seriously clever
An alt-history with a difference. Traces the true story of the development of rocket science but adds an alien-conspiracy-theory edge . . . Good fun
Wry narration, wired action . . . Fans of alternate history and intelligent sci-fi will love this
