A STOLEN VIAL
Eternigen is the miracle drug that allows humans to travel in deep space. Seventeen-year-old space captain Tabitha “Dix” Dixon has the only vial of Eternigen in existence.
A RELENTLESS ENEMY
Eira Ninge always gets what she wants. She wants the Eternigen, and she’ll do anything—and kill anyone—to get it.
A DEADLY CURSE
Since Dix stole the vial, everyone she loves seems fated to die. When young resistance messenger Jordan Berrett steals her heart, she has to decide if it’s worth risking his life to let him get close. When Dix is involved, even falling in love can turn deadly.
A CHANCE FOR FREEDOM
If Dix can get her hands on more Eternigen, she and her crew can escape the solar system, leaving her dark past behind. But getting the Eternigen won’t be easy, and the bodies keep piling up. In the end, the cost of freedom may be too high.

Review:
Annie Laurie Cechini’s Liberty rockets
into space with an endearing cast, amazing worlds, and a storyline that leaves
the reader breathless and begging for more!
Cechini breathes life into every
single character. I cared about them and couldn’t stop reading. The villain is delightfully
vindictive as well and keeps the characters on their toes. At first, I thought
Tabitha, the main character, sounded a bit old for her seventeen years, but as
the book progresses, I understood why. Tabitha has responsibility thrust upon
her, and I love how she starts out as a tough girl and slowly shows her
vulnerable side.
Liberty
is space opera at its best. Besides the characters, the worldbuilding is
phenomenal. I love the idea of terra-forming planets into habitable ones. Each
planet took on their own characteristics, and I must say I would love to live
on Venus or Neptune. Terra-forming is also refreshing when so many other
science fiction focuses upon traveling to planets that are already like our
own.
With the fast-paced plot, the story
kept me guessing at every turn. The writing is stellar. I found myself
snickering along with the humorous lines, and then I cried when a certain
character didn’t quite make it. The best books cause those reactions, though.
And the ending—wow! I really do hope a book two is in the works or a companion
book. I just want to keep delving more in the world Cechini created.
I would recommend Liberty by Annie Laurie Cechini to fans
of Firefly and Star Wars.
Five Bookworms = I loved it!
