The Stars Will Be Our Ocean - Paperback

For fans of Mass Effect, A Memory Called Empire, and The Shape of Water comes a story of love between outcasts caught in the mire of intergalactic politics.

First contact with the vast spacefaring empire of the Reshketh seemed like a miraculous boon for Humanity, trapped on a dying Earth. But in pursuit of an alliance, something has gone terribly wrong, and it's up to cultural advisor Jenna Kalandra to figure out why before it's too late. The only problems are that she has no information, no connections, and her own Ambassador hates her just for existing.

Jenna isn't one to give up easily, but she'll need the help of a mischievous AI, an inventive Human tech, her no-nonsense ex-girlfriend, and one charmingly unprofessional Reshketh security guard named Tarek to survive her Ambassador's wrath. Can these misfits find a way to save the alliance (and themselves) before prejudice dooms Humanity? And can Jenna's friendship with the roguish Reshketh become something deeper when no one knows who to trust?
