Darker Space

Written by Lisa Henry

Narrated by Chris Chambers

Brady Garrett is back on Earth. He's living with his partner Cam and they're raising his sister Lucy together. Life is better than some feral reffo from Kopa has any right to hope, and Brady knows it. He's even grateful for it, most of the time. He loves Cam, even though he's afraid that he's not good enough for him, and he's still having nightmares about the alien Faceless.

Cameron Rushton loved being a pilot once, and he still feels the pull of the starlight. He's building a life with Brady now, and with Lucy. Life is good, even if it's not without its complications. Both Brady and Cam are dealing with the endless cycle of interviews, tests, and questions that the military hierarchy hopes will reveal the secrets of the aliens who could very easily destroy humanity. They have each other though, and together they're making it work.

But from out in the black, Kai-Ren is still watching and everything Brady and Cam think they've won, they stand to lose all over again.

Contains mature themes.

Lisa Henry

Lisa likes to tell stories, mostly with hot guys and happily ever afters. Lisa lives in tropical North Queensland, Australia. She doesn’t know why, because she hates the heat, but she suspects she’s too lazy to move. She spends half her time slaving away as a government minion, and the other half plotting her escape. She attended university at sixteen, not because she was a child prodigy or anything, but because of a mix-up between international school systems early in life. She studied History and English, neither of them very thoroughly. Lisa has been published since 2012, and was a LAMBDA finalist for her quirky, awkward coming-of-age romance Adulting 101, and a Rainbow Awards finalist for 2019’s Anhaga.

Reviews for Darker Space

[Susan Grunner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It took a bit to get into this. The first half of the book is so needlessly angsty. I'm not particularly interested in someone's obsession with their inferiority complex in the face of continuous external validation. I'm glad that basically died away once the plot picked up. And the plot was great. Really enjoyed how it grew, and it didn't lean into unnecessary drama.

Good story overall. But I couldn't bear Brady's constant whining!!
