Star Splitter takes place in a distant future in which the problem of interstellar travel is solved by scanning a person, turning their body and consciousness into a data file, and then using a 3D biological printer to replicate them in another location. The original body is destroyed.
Jessica's parents are scientists who left her at the age of eleven with her grandparents on earth to explore far away stars and planets. They have been gone for six years. They ask her to join them to survey a planet that has undergone a massive extinction event caused by a giant volcano. She finds herself awaking in a printer in a crashed lander on the planet. There are multiple graves and a familiar stranger who is keeping secrets from her.
Star Splitter is an incredible mix of sci-fi, horror and thriller, and had me addicted from the beginning. It is told in dual timelines which heightens the suspense. Star Splitter is thought provoking and unsettling as it raises many questions about the nature of consciousness and personhood, as well as the ethics and costs of interstellar travel and exploration. I liked that there was no romance, which is refreshing in YA. The ending leaves some questions unanswered, and I would have liked more of an epilogue, but I think the author did this purposefully. Star Splitter is absolutely gripping, intriguing and unique. Thank you to BookishFirst for a copy to review.

Sobre Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
