That Distant Dream

By Laurel Beckley
That Distant Dream by Laurel Beckley digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

After her escape pod is found drifting through debris nearly two decades after the end of the Redelki Wars, Melin is woken from cryosleep to find a galaxy where she no longer belongs. The galaxy has moved on from the horrors she experienced, the experiences that transformed her into a hero while she slept, but she hasn't.

 

Alone, broken in mind and body, Melin is slowly pulled to the planet of her ancestors. She just wants a fresh start. A chance to end the dreams plaguing her sleep. A chance for answers. For new beginnings. For a life lived in oblivion where no one knows her name or what she did.

 

But Satura is a planet at war. And there are no fresh starts for heroes.

“I was so surprised by that book! I was expecting your general Si-Fi-Romance-Novel, but this book? There was not one kiss or even hint at romance, and givent what the main character went through, I was so happy they did not put a romance on top of that. This book was dealing with so much other stuff, PTSD, war, the concequences of war - I hate it when romance it put into that part of a story. I am looking forward to the next book, hopefully there are going to be the dragons who have been mentioned... Also, since the book ended on one of the most horrible cliff hangers in history, I hope the next part will be available soon. Honestly I am hoping that Melin will be portrayed an asexual or maybe even an aromantic character. It would fit the image this first book has given me of her and I'd be happy to have more aro/ace representation in literature. I am also eager to find out more about the dreams Melin had and what exactly they will mean for the further narrative. It was an almost perfect read and I am so happy and excited for the following books to be released! I received a free ARC by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.”
