Jess was born a prisoner, grew up a prisoner and at sixteen knew he would die a prisoner. When his turn comes to try to break through the traps protecting a spaceship it seems his day to die has come. The ship, and others like it, have already claimed hundreds of prisoners’ lives.

 

Instead he manages to avoid the traps and gain access to the ship with two other prisoners, beginning a frantic flight to freedom. Soon Jess finds himself loose in a brutal universe ruled by the Empire and riddled with pirates, slave traders and worse. Can Jess manage to learn the rules of the universe and the capabilities of the ship he has stolen in time to stay alive?

I enjoyed this book. It is a fun sci/fi magical type story. The setting is in space, on a ship. The main characters are slaves that have found their freedom. They found their freedom because of a ship that “chose” Jess. The ship is from an alien race and is far more advanced than the people on her. Many of the things are not really possible or even plausible but in a story does it always have to be? It is a coming of age root for the underdogs story and fun because of that.

I would recommend this book if you aren’t bothered by the author making things up….this is a story after all and every author is entitled to tell their story how it is in their heads 🙂
