Although Sienna Dukelsky had been the most promising student pilot at Keening AstroSpace Academy, she inexplicably settles for a routine, unglamorous job guiding incoming spaceships to safe berths at Farflung Space Station. Rumors, never verified, blamed her surprising decision on a boyfriend who got expelled from Keening.
Crispin Hunt, fleeing enemy forces, is greeted by a tugship captained by Sienna, his former girlfriend. Love rekindles—until an old betrayal boils up. Her ship loses power while aimed dead on at the space station, forcing Sienna to confront the terrifying truth about Crispin and his cargo…and her routine job suddenly becomes the most important in the entire galaxy.
Edward Hoornaert’s romantic space opera, Constellation XXI, continues the Repelling the Invasion saga of the Dukelsky family, begun in The Guardian Angel of Farflung Station and Escapee.
***
Constellation XXI is the third Edward Hoornaert SFR I have read and the most recent volume of his Repelling the Invasion series.
Hoornaert's characters are inherently good and easy to root for. It's what I like most about his stories. They are complex and real in ways I find easy to identify with. I've become very fond of the Farflung universe he's created and always enjoy settling back in to it and catching up with everyone.
Looking forward to the next one, this series is one I always watch for news on.
I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for my review.
