Overview

Mars colonist Michelle Arensen suddenly finds herself lost in deep space, in the custody of the Vinyi, an intimidating alien race. To survive, she will have to determine when to fight, when to let go, and the difference between giving up and moving on. A BookLife by Publishers Weekly Editor's Pick ""Found is a thoroughly moving, engaging, original, highly intelligent piece of fiction, with themes that run as deep as the questions it raises, the laughter it inspires, the empathy it stirs. Found takes a sci-fi premise and elevates it into a clever meditation on humanity, often from an extraterrestrial perspective. A brilliant debut."" -- Marthese Fenech, bestselling author of The Siege of Malta trilogy ""The fast-paced plotline [is] conveyed in a direct, nonjargony prose (some may recall genre master Alan Dean Foster), ... [A] resourceful human fights to navigate and survive a perilous alien environment... and much weight is accorded to the emotional states of the players... Aye, Captain, there is intelligent life in this involving SF adventure."" - Kirkus Reviews

"""Found is a thoroughly moving, engaging, original, highly intelligent piece of fiction, with themes that run as deep as the questions it raises, the laughter it inspires, the empathy it stirs. Found takes a sci-fi premise and elevates it into a clever meditation on humanity, often from an extraterrestrial perspective. A brilliant debut."" -- Marthese Fenech, bestselling author of The Siege of Malta trilogy ""The fast-paced plotline, conveyed in a direct, nonjargony prose (some may recall genre master Alan Dean Foster), has much in common with the ""Robinsonade"" type of SF, in which a resourceful human fights to navigate and survive a perilous alien environment. That this one is a dicey ship-board society and culture... makes author Weber's material more nuanced, and much weight is accorded to the emotional states of the players... Aye, Captain, there is intelligent life in this involving SF adventure."" - Kirkus Reviews"

Author Information

Lesli started writing short stories for fun a few years ago on a whim and accidentally found a passion. Now writing novels is one of her favorite activities. So far, she's written sci-fi and fantasy/horror and is open to whatever else captures her imagination. When she's not writing, she can usually be found reading, exercising, improving her Spanish, daydreaming about her next trip, or spending time with her friends and family. She also works a full-time day job in an industry utterly unrelated to fiction. Lesli lives in Washington State, U.S., with her husband.
