Book Synopsis

Lieutenant Selene Genji is hurled into the past to try and save a world that doesn't want her in this action-packed adventure from New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell.

Earth was destroyed on June 12, 2180. Lieutenant Selene Genji watched it happen. And only she can prevent it.

Thrown forty years into the past, into a time before the Universal War began, Genji can only guess what to do to change the events that led to the death of all humanity. She has no way of knowing the long-term impacts of her actions and can only depend on her instincts.

But many of the people Genji's trying to save want her dead. Her creation was an experiment: a fusing of human and alien DNA. To them, she's a monster who can't be trusted, a tool of the aliens who have just made first contact.

Fortunately, she has an unshakable ally in Lieutenant Kayl Owen, who has risked everything to help her mission. Declared a traitor to humanity by Earth Guard, Owen is determined to help Genji save the Earth.

Even if he dies trying.

Review Quotes

Praise for Jack Campbell and The Doomed Earth duology

"A wonderful, engaging, often uplifting adventure about caring and doing what's right, no matter the odds or the cost. And the soul of it all is honestly reminiscent of Heinlein at his best."--New York Times bestselling author Taylor Anderson

"Campbell launches a new series with this energetic human-alien romance wrapped in an inter-planetary thriller...This series is off to a good start."--Publishers Weekly

"An outstanding kickoff to a new series. . . . a heartfelt character study wrapped in a riveting action movie. It delivers everything I want out of sci-fi: fun tech, relatable characters, well-earned camaraderie, and deeply felt stakes. . . . The contagious optimism and breakneck pace kept me glued to the page, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment!"--J. S. Dewes, author of The Last Watch

"Jack Campbell's In Our Stars is old fashioned science fiction in the best possible way; taking a good hard look at the present through the lens of the future."--Tanya Huff, author of the Valor and Peacekeeper series

"If you're a fan of Science Fiction and haven't read anything by Jack Campbell, you should definitely give him a read."--Game Vortex

"Space Opera works best when it's operatic. Big and bold, dark and dramatic, characters and concepts that are cheerfully off the scale. In Our Stars is all of these things, with an extra helping of mayhem, just to keep things tasty."--Simon R. Green, New York Times bestselling author

"With In Our Stars, Jack Campbell shows once again why he's one of the best SF writers working today."--Michael Mammay, author of the Planetside Series

"Another intense action thriller. These characters are in danger at every turn, including a harrowing trip to Mars. . . . Highly recommended."--Red Carpet Crash

"Jack Campbell takes us across space and time as no one else can. In Our Stars is a gripping, heartfelt adventure that pulls you in and doesn't let go."--Zac Topping, author of Wake of War

"Jack Campbell's In Our Stars is an explosive start to his new series, introducing compelling storylines and characters grounded in his usual superb portrayal of the way a space navy functions - or misfunctions - under stress. Lt. Selene Genji is uniquely qualified to deal with the sudden appearance of aliens in Earth's backyard in 2140, but it takes her combat skills and another lieutenant's firm belief to give Earth a fighting chance once it's been destroyed in the future. Notch this one as a win for military SF fans, time travel aficionados, and general SF readers looking for a story where a potentially prosaic future meets the sense of wonder big time."--Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, authors of the Liaden Universe(R)
