THE SPACE BETWEEN THE STARS by Anne Corlett is probably one of the most entertaining books that I have read so far this year. I read this book from cover to cover in two sittings because I simply could not put it down. I was so drawn into this book that I had to know what was going on. I experienced so many different emotions while reading this book from crying one minute to laughing the next.
THE SPACE BETWEEN THE STARS is about Jamie who is on a remote planet. She is trapped there alone when the human race is wiped out before her very eyes. The virus spread so slow that the scope of the disaster was not noticed until it was too late to quarantine. Now, Jamie must stand strong and face her fears. She has to find a way to move forward and not give in to the gloom and despair that the planet has become. A cell phone that is useless only reminds her of a promise she made what seems so long ago. A promise to meet a loved one in Northumberland should an apocalypse occur. She must travel through the sky among the stars in a unreliable ship with a group on survivors that are each struggling with their own past.
THE SPACE BETWEEN THE STARS is full of hope, love, despair, and the willingness to move forward in the face of becoming lost in a world that no longer exists. Corlett has a way of writing that truly draws you in from the first line on the first page and holds your attention until the very end leaving you wanting more, hoping for another book. The setting works extremely well with the plot line and seem to mesh together to create a unforgettable read that you will definitely want to read again. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good science fiction novel.
