Check out these amazing reviews for THE OCEANS BETWEEN STARS!

The reviews have been landing for THE OCEANS BETWEEN STARS and they're awesome! Here are some highlights, with links to the full reviews where available:

"Rife with tension and unexpected twists, this conceptually-expansive science-fiction novel relies strongly on the human element to grab—and hold—readers' sympathies. -The Horn Book 

"With the same enthralling, cinematic pacing he used in LAST DAY ON MARS (2017), Emerson unspools nail biting suspense in this sequel, all while employing a solid grasp of real science and paying homage to classic sci-fi stories. Through all the engrossing sci-fi action, however, Emerson keeps the plot solidly grounded in the characters, who are real and complex. -Booklist FULL REVIEW

"Arcs of emotional tension braid through outer-space flying and fighting scenes, various aliens, jolts of puzzle-mystery time travel, and science/philosophy ("Now and then are constraints of three-dimensional beings.") Thrills, violence, time/space questions, and some contemplation about colonization make for action on the thoughtful side." -Kirkus FULL REVIEW

"Well written and exciting..." -School Library Journal

    Whether you're young or old, you will love this series. Can't wait for the final chapter in February when book #3 is out. I already pre-ordered it.
