Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met.

Lee is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet's rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents.

Rebellion is in Flynn's blood. His sister died in the original uprising against the powerful corporate conglomerate that rules Avon with an iron fist. These corporations make their fortune by terraforming uninhabitable planets across the universe and recruiting colonists to make the planets livable, with the promise of a better life for their children. But they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and decades later, Flynn is leading the rebellion.

Desperate for any advantage against the military occupying his home, Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape base together, caught between two sides in a senseless war.

Review

&quotAt last, a YA series that doesn't suffer from second book syndrome! I really loved These Broken Stars and sat down to read This Shattered World with some anticipation. I wasn't disappointed." - --The Bookbag

&quotI cannot stress how much I enjoyed the little snapshots of the character's past lives in between the chapters...his book is definitely worth a read. If you like your science fiction with a dash of romance and a little bit of adventure, this will offer a great distraction from reality." - --Cuckoo Review
