One Chance To Save The Future.Fleeing the final days of the generations-long war with the alien Felen, smuggler Jereth Keeven’s freighter the Jonah breaks down in a strange rift in deep space, with little chance of rescue—until they encounter the research vessel Gallion, which claims to be from 152 years in the future.The Gallion’s chief engineer Uma Ozakka has always been fascinated with the past, especially the tale of the Fortunate Five, who ended the war with the Felen. When the Gallion rescues a run-down junk freighter, Ozakka is shocked to recognize the Five's legendary ship—and the Five's famed leader, Eldric Leesongronski, among the crew.But nothing else about Leesongronski and his crewmates seems to match up with the historical record. With their ships running out of power in the rift, more than the lives of both crews may be at stake...

"This is the first space themed sci-fi book I’ve read. I haven’t watched The Expanse as well as Star Trek so when reading this book, I just imagine the space ship in Among Us hehe. Anyway, this book is really nice, it didn’t focus much on the nerdy side of space travel so it’s not boring. I loved reading the flashbacks of the main characters’ lives, especially Dafne and Eldric’s life. I love how the characters were created, their history and their personality. The book is twisty, and most of the plot twists and big, important revelations will occur on the 2nd half of the book so once you get there, it’s hard to put it down. It’s a light read and a pretty long one but I think everyone should give it a try. I hope there’s a book 2, I want to know more about the ending and how it all happened. <br/><br/>Thank you to Lola’s Blog Tours, the author Ren Hutchings and Rebellion Pub for my copy of this book!"
