Overview

Parr never meant for any of this to happen. All he wanted to do was pilot the Aurora around the galaxy and avoid his royal duties for a while. Now, in the wake of his parents' mysterious demise, it's time to un-fake his death and take up the mantle meant for him since birth. Unfortunately, it won't be easy. A pirate king and the galaxy's most dangerous bounty hunter stand between him and the gates of his home, Bilena Epso Ach. Parr will need the help of two unlikely friends. Manc Yelray, a wise-cracking old pirate with money on his mind and an appetite for strange similies. And Ren, a smooth-talking outlander with a plan, and a shadowy secret of her own. But do they have what it takes? And what will they eat along the way? Because there's only one rule in space: never eat the hot snack. ANYTHING but the hot snack.

Author Information

Brian Corley is the praised YA author of Space Throne and Ghost Bully as well as the upcoming new release GILM!. He is also a songwriter and musician in the well-received rock band, The Mars McClanes, who have been recording for twenty-one years and are based in Portland.Not all authors can say that their novel started out as a song lyric, but for Brian, that's exactly what happened. GILM!, his contemporary YA magical realism novel, is currently being released in conjunction with a new song of the same name, a collaboration with his band. What began as a writing exercise trying to find a word that rhymes with film, ended as a circuitous creative journey that spawned an energetic rock song and the kernel of an idea to write a thrilling fantasy story about a new kid trying to impress a girl.Brian believes a great story is a good mixture of emotion and craft, something you can tell someone poured their heart into. For him, there's nothing like someone telling you what a passage or a lyric means to them. He hopes his stories evoke an emotion in his YA readers that stays with them long after the book is closed.A member of the SFWA (Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association), Brian has received high praise from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, and BookLife, among others, for his novels. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his amazing dog, Brisket.
