Book - 2019

Savvy criminal turned skilled Leviathan pilot Zara Cole finds new friends and clashes with bitter enemies in the second book of this action-packed series from New York Times bestselling authors Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre that's perfect for fans of The 100 and The Fifth Wave. Zara Cole was a thief back on Earth, but she's been recently upgraded to intergalactic fugitive. On the run after a bloody battle in a covert war that she never expected to be fighting, Zara, her co-pilot Beatriz, and their Leviathan ship Nadim barely escaped the carnage with their lives. Now Zara and her crew of Honors need a safe haven, far from the creatures who want to annihilate them. But they'll have to settle for the Sliver: a wild, dangerous war...ren of alien criminals. The secrets of the Sliver may have the power to turn the tide of the war they left behind--but in the wrong direction. Soon Zara will have to make a choice: run from the ultimate evil--or stand and fight.

Review by Booklist Review

A motley crew of honors (human and aliens) and their creature-ship Leviathans are recuperating from battle while in pursuit of the deadly mindless swarm known as the Phage. Zara and her friends find their way to the Sliver, a rogue outpost with its own crime boss, where they are sucked into a plan to retrieve an imprisoned, unconscious god-like being. When the god-king awakens, begins devouring every living thing in its path, and employs the Phage as its personal army, the universe seems doomed. The sequel to Honor Among Thieves (2018) is non-stop adventure, with cultural nods to Star Wars and Ender's Game, and a diverse cast of humans and aliens that will have readers longing for the kind of honors program that puts them in space with sentient friend-ships of their own. New enemies are introduced, and there are a few sensual moments of honor-Leviathan bonding that may raise conservative eyebrows. Consider connecting fans to Melissa Landers' Starflight series or Cori McCarthy's The Color of Rain (2013).--Cindy Welch Copyright 2019 Booklist
