Steal the Stars by Nat Cassidy
Synopsis:
Dakota “Dak” Prentiss guards the biggest secret in the world.
They call it “Moss.” It’s your standard grey alien from innumerable abduction stories. It still sits at the controls of the spaceship it crash-landed eleven years ago. A secret military base was built around the crash site to study both Moss and the dangerous technology it brought to Earth.
The day Matt Salem joins her security team, Dak’s whole world changes.
It’s love at first sight―which is a problem, since they both signed ironclad contracts vowing not to fraternize with other military personnel. If they run, they’ll be hunted for what they know. Dak and Matt have only way to be together: do the impossible. Steal Moss and sell the secret of its existence.
And they can’t afford a single mistake.
Review:
Dak is the head of security for the a private organization, studying an alien within it’s crashed ship. When a new man joins, they fall in insta-love on the first day. And suddenly, the “no fraternization” rule is a problem. So, in order to be together these total strangers decide to run from all they know. Sure, it’s not realistic, but this is science fiction – so I can suspend disbelief.
Steal the Stars is based on a podcast by Mac Rogers. This is a fast-paced, thrilling read that doesn’t slow down. The characters are fun and the story is very exciting and dramatic. With the suspense building to a surprising finale – this is an unforgettable novel that most science fiction fans will enjoy.
