Produktbeschreibung
After losing a global war to Earth's megacorporations, the heads of the governments and their military leaders were exiled to Prism, a barren planet. Earth's worst criminals were included on the cryo-ship. For the past twenty-five years the prisoners, dependent on the largess of the corporations, have survived on scant supply shipments. But the ships keep arriving, only to transport a valuable energy source, translithium crystals, back to Earth. Seventeen-year-old O'Neill likes her life on Prism just as it is, earning her credits as a pilot. Everyone, including O'Neill, believes she'll eventually marry Cal Reagan, her best friend. She's not ready to give up her independence now, but change is coming. More change than she can handle alone, after her father goes missing. Jericho Montgomery, heir to the wealthiest conglomerate owner on Earth, arrives on the prison world to negotiate a shipping contract. If he doesn't secure the deal, his father will relegate him to the fashion and entertainment divisions. He is determined to deliver a winning proposal to secure his future, his father's respect, and his mother's legacy. O'Neill is assigned to be Jericho's pilot and guarantee his safety. She dislikes Earthers and their peculiar beliefs about what is important. What she learns from Jericho challenges everything she believes about Earth, Prism's past, and her future. While Jericho helps O'Neill train for the Battle, a military-style athletic competition, he discovers hidden facts and inconsistencies in conflict with what he'd grown up believing about the convict society, along with a secret that could destroy his future on Earth. Can O'Neill and Jericho work together to unravel lies on both planets and still obtain the respect Jericho craves and the independence O'Neill needs? This is Book One of a two-book story.
Autorenporträt
Fae Rowen discovered the romance genre after years as a science fiction freak. Writing futuristics and medieval paranormals, she jokes that she can live anywhere but the present. As a mathematician, she knows life's a lot more fun when you get to define your world and its rules then watch what happens. Punished, oh-no, that's published as a co-author of a math textbook, she yearns to hear personal stories about finding love from those who read her fiction books, rather than horrors of calculus lessons gone wrong. She is grateful for good friends who remind her to do the practical things in life like grocery shop, show up at the airport for a flight and pay bills. Fae Rowen began writing after reading her favorite author's entire backlist in three weeks and couldn't bear the thought of waiting nine months for the next book. A "hard" scientist who avoided writing classes like the plague, she now enjoys sharing her brain with characters who demand that their stories be told. Amazing, gifted critique partners keep her on the straight and narrow. Feedback from readers keeps her fingers on the keyboard. Fae is busy writing P.R.I.S.M. Book Two, which will be available in Spring 2018.
