Back in June, I wrote about a good book that I got to read ahead of publication, and now that it's out, I wanted to re-post what I wrote, in case any sci-fi fans could use the reminder!
Full Speed to a Crash Landing by Beth Revis comes out August 6, or as we can now call it, Tuesday.
I was approved for an advance copy by Daw Books--thanks, y'all!
Publisher's description:
A high octane sexy space heist from New York Times-bestselling author Beth Revis, the first in a novella trilogy
Ada Lamarr may have gotten to the spaceship wreck first, but looter’s rights won’t get her far when she’s got a hole in the side of her ship and her spacesuit is almost out of air. Fortunately for her, help arrives in the form of a government salvage crew—and while they reluctantly rescue her from certain death, they are not pleased to have an unexpected passenger along on their classified mission.

A phenomenally fun novella that kicks off a trilogy of sexy space heists and romantic tension, Full Speed to a Crash Landing is packed with great characters and full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end.
My review:
I raced through reading this and enjoyed every twist and turn along the way! Ada has an upfront attitude and hidden depths, and she’s not the only one who may not be fully what they seem. As layers are pulled back, I was constantly reevaluating what had come before—it really made me think. I kept putting it down to ponder and then immediately picking it back up because I had to know what would happen next. The ending was both satisfying and left me wanting more: I look forward to reading the next in the series.
Also, I really want to talk about some things in the book that would be spoilers, so please read it and then let me know, and we can talk!
Sounds like great fun! Me, my (revised updated) copy of Freakanomics just arrived--I know, I'm late to the party--so that's what I'll be into for the next little bit.
ReplyDeleteI've only read one Beth Revis book (Across the Universe) and I did not care for it very much. I'm also hesitant to read the first in a trilogy before the trilogy is done. Maybe I'll revisit this one when all the novellas are out.
ReplyDeleteI also read Across the Universe and did not like it very much, but this sounds quite a bit different. I do like a book where later events cause the reevaluation of earlier action.
