The Buried Stars: Captains of Circumstance, #2

By Brianna Blythe

It has been five generations since the crew of the Circumstance landed on Lelana and deployed the quarantine shield to keep out the lethal nanovirus that spread among the stars. Since then, they have known nothing of what was happening beyond the shield. 

 

Joan Vaughn grew up on stories of the crew's journeys through a universe she will never see, in a war that nearly ended everything. 

 

Then one day she stumbles upon a piece of history believed long lost. In recovering this piece of the past, she uncovers the one truth that the crew of the Circumstance kept from their descendants. And that truth changes everything, if the people of Lelana are willing to brave the unknown.

 

She never expected to find her ticket to the stars buried beneath her feet.
