Synopsis "These Broken Stars "

"One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful stories I've ever read."--Marie Lu, New York Times best-selling author of the Legend trilogy The first in the New York Times bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner's sweeping science fiction trilogy, These Broken Stars is a timeless love story about hope and survival in the face of unthinkable odds. It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen are the only survivors. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they're worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help. Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other's arms. Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won't be the same people who landed on it.

Amie Kaufman es una escritora australiana de literatura juvenil y ciencia ficción, reconocida por sus novelas de ritmo vertiginoso y estructuras narrativas innovadoras. Antes de dedicarse por completo a la escritura, trabajó en áreas vinculadas al derecho y la mediación, experiencia que luego trasladó a la construcción de personajes complejos y dinámicas intensas entre protagonistas. Su obra suele combinar aventura espacial, romance, tecnología y conflictos políticos, consolidándola como una figura destacada dentro de la ficción juvenil contemporánea.

Es coautora de sagas exitosas como The Illuminae Files junto a Jay Kristoff y Aurora Cycle, cuya tercera entrega es Aurora’s End. Estas novelas se hicieron conocidas por mezclar documentos, mensajes, expedientes y múltiples voces narrativas en formatos poco convencionales. Gracias a su capacidad para crear universos dinámicos y personajes memorables, Kaufman ha alcanzado lectores en numerosos países y se ha convertido en una presencia habitual dentro de la ciencia ficción juvenil internacional.
