Synopsis 
 Solara Brooks and Doran Spaulding have experienced the world on two opposite ends of the spectrum. Solara's life had been spent in an orphanage until an event that branded her with felony tattoos turns her to the Outer Rim for a new start. Doran, on the other hand, has lived a silver-spooned life and relished in making Solara's situation even more miserable. But when Doran is the only member of the upper crust willing to take her on as hired help, Solara is desperate enough to do just about anything to get closer to the Outer Rim. 
 When a twist of fate lands them on the less-than-glamorous ship called the Banshee, their relationship with each other and the crew of the vessel slowly starts to morph as they outrun the law and space pirates, and sometimes struggle just to keep the Banshee afloat in the vastness of space. 
 Thoughts 
 I don't want to say too much about the mystery and adventures that are had by the cast of characters in Melissa Landers' new science fiction adventure, but-let me tell you-Landers knows how to write an enthralling scifi read. While it's different from Alienated (no aliens here), fans of that series will not be disappointed. Starflight has a great cast of characters, wonderful pacing, and witty dialogue that makes my imagination squee with glee. Oh and did I mention that Solara is a wiz of a mechanic? YES. All the yes. 
 It appears that this is a stand-alone (at the moment) with a companion novel coming in 2017 that will follow Cassia and Kane as the main characters, but with appearances from Solara and Doran and other members of the crew. I will be waiting for it with baited breath. Can't get enough of Melissa Landers' writing. If you haven't read her books yet, do so! And if you're waiting in agony for United to come out in August, put this on your to-read list to hold you over until then! 
 Thanks to Disney-Hyperion for sending me this title to review!
