In a dark world of tyranny, one man struggles to defy the norms. In a place where life is cheap, he prizes his. Where work is drudgery, he gets the one job he wants. Where passion is extinct, he loves a beautiful woman. Then he loses everything. Arial is an ace pilot who is imprisoned for sedition by Feran, the brutal ruler of Planet Asteron. The young rebel is pushed to desperation when he's sentenced to undergo an unbearable punishment. Feran is about to embark on a vital mission that is shrouded in the highest secrecy. But in a death-defying escape, Arial steals his ruler's spacecraft, foiling his plans. The ship takes the fugitive on Feran's pre-programmed course, with a mysterious cargo aboard. Arial's life is about to change forever--and with it, the fate of two planets. During the stormy events that seize his life, Arial is drawn to two women. Reevah is the proud Asteronian whose strong will sets her apart in a society where all must obey. She lives for her stolen moments with Arial. But will her love for him seal her doom? Kristin is the high-spirited woman of another world who falls in love with the handsome stranger who lands on her planet. But will she discover the secret of his past that will make him her mortal enemy? FUGITIVE FROM ASTERON takes you on a journey to two opposite worlds on the brink of a collision. It's a tale of exotic adventure, of first love, of grit and courage, of harrowing danger, and of a shocking mystery unfolding. At heart, it's the story of a young man's struggle to heal the wounds of a brutal past, to learn what makes human existence possible, and to claim his own life.… (plus d'informations)

I received this through a giveaway. This is the story of Arial, a twenty-one year old man from the planet of Asteron. He spends his days under the cruel reign of the dictator Feran and dreams of escape and yearns to become a pilot. The story starts with Arial under arrest and awaiting execution. He manages to escape to Earth where he meets Kristen a young woman who is an expert pilot. This is where the rest of the story plays out with a few twists and a lot of action and romance to keep the story moving forward.

The politics throughout are a bit heavy-handed and rather black or white. And the constant questioning and repeating of past events by Arial took me out of the story. I think the pace could have benefited by cutting the majority of his internal monologues and keeping to the present.

There were some lovely scenes throughout. I especially liked the joy conveyed when Arial was flying and his first interactions with Reevah.

Overall, I enjoyed the story and was glad to have the opportunity to read it. A good read for Sci-fi fans. ( )
