Description
“Christopher Paolini may be a name familiar to YA fans as the author behind the bestselling Eragon book and Inheritance Cycle, although he hasn’t had a new book out in almost ten years because he’s been hard at work on a new epic science fiction novel, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. It’s taking him multiple restarts and many drafts, but the big finished product is finally here.
Kira discovers an alien relic, but then has an accident and awakens something that takes over her. She regains consciousness later to find she is encased in an alien suit that can protect her from many things. But this is not what she had in mind with the first contact. Meanwhile, another alien force is attacking humanity across the galaxy and it appears to be up to Kira to use this alien technology to help thwart this attack.
Paolini has created a complex and fascinating world here, and while the book does go on a little too long, the story is gripping and engrossing, and for his first foray into adult science fiction, this is an impressive effort. Paolini fans and science fiction fans will be both surprised and impressed.”
