Second Star

by Dana Stabenow

Overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Shugak series, Second Star is the first thrilling novel in the hit Star Svensdotter trilogy by Dana Stabenow.

Esther 'Star' Svensdotter's job is overseeing the completion of the American Alliance's first O'Neill cylinder - a massive space hub capable of supporting thousands of colonists. It's just weeks away from commissioning, and she'll be damned if Luddite terrorists, squabbling bureaucrats, military takeovers or rogue AI will stand in the way. Frontier justice on Ellfive sometimes involves an airlock - you don't want to be on the wrong side of justice. Or the wrong side of Star Svensdotter.

The first in Dana Stabenow's Star Svensdotter trilogy, Second Star is a tale of first contact, declarations of independence, and new frontiers.

Editorial Reviews

Star Svensdotter is close to achieving the commissioning of Ellfive, which will give the space colony the right to govern itself and some level of independence from Earth. Marguerite Gavin creates a persona for Archie, the artificial intelligence that keeps the habitat running smoothly and safely, and conveys his growing (but friendly) attitude as he evolves into a sentient being. She expresses the increasing warmth that members of Star’s inner circle feel for each other and their steely determination to protect their home when it's threatened on all sides. The pace is quick, and Gavin portrays Star as commanding yet endearing. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
