HONOR AMONG THIEVES is the first book in The
Honors series by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre. I've
previously read a book by Rachel Caine that I greatly
enjoyed, SMOKE AND
IRON from The
Great Library series. However, this is the first
time I've anything Ann Aquirre. I came to really enjoy this
science fiction series.
The book starts off with Zara Cole stealing something that
she shouldn't have taken. And, now she has to run for her
life. So, being recruited into the Honors seems like a
prayer answered. Honors are selected humans that explore the
universe on board Leviathans, living alien ships. Zara flees
Earth but soon realizes that this heaven-sent salvation, may
not be that safe.
Street smart Zara is easy to like, she had a troublesome
upbringing and prefers living in New Detroit rather than
going with her sister and mother to Mars. Zara just can't
see herself living inside a dome, she would rather be free,
stealing what she needs. I found the storyline to be very
engaging, and that the alien ships they are traveling with
are alive made the story feel like a refreshingly new
concept. I quite look forward to reading the next book in
the series, to find out more about the ships and the honor
project. And, more about what's out there in the universe.
The 100 meets The 5th Wave in this
thrilling sci-fi series from New York Times
bestselling authors Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre about a
feisty young criminal chosen to explore the far reaches of
the galaxy aboard a sentient spaceship, only to discover
that dangerous secrets and a taboo romance are hidden
amongst the stars. Now in paperback.
Zara Cole has been in and out of New Detroit’s rehab
facilities for treatment of her antisocial behavior. There’s
no adjusting Zara’s attitude, though. A painful past has
made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in
the Zone instead moving with her family to Mars. In her
eyes, living inside a dome isn’t much better than a prison
cell. Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running
scared, jail might be exactly where she’s headed.
Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of
humans selected by the Leviathan—a race of sentient alien
ships—to explore the outer reaches of the universe as their
passengers. Zara seizes the chance to flee Earth’s dangers,
but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship she’s assigned to
along with fellow Honor Beatriz, Zara starts to feel at home
for the first time, along with a devotion she’s never
experienced before.
Yet nothing—not her Honors training or her street
smarts—could have prepared her for the dark, ominous truths
that lurk behind the alluring glitter of starlight.
Honor Among Thieves is the first book in a daring
sci-fi series by bestselling authors Rachel Caine and Ann
Aguirre.
