Dark Space by Lisa Henry
4.0
I'll keep this brief.
As a fan of sci-fi in general, this appealed to me on a lot of fronts. It was like a cross between Ender's Game and Battlestar Galactica, with the very nice bonus of some darn good romance.
Bound together by alien circumstance, it's not surprising Cam and Brady's psychic and physical connection brings about some heavy, unplanned feels. The fate of human kind hangs in the balance - will things go according to plan like Cam says or will Brady's fatalistic beliefs come true? Despite an ominous feeling, Brady seizes what little happiness he can eke out of their forced intimacy, and Cam willingly reciprocates.
Props to Henry. From the few things I've read of hers, she consistently brings great storytelling, complex feels and emotions, and some very nice UST and smex. There's not much, if anything, to complain about.
