What this book is about
The Stars of Redemption is a young adult science fiction novel about a fractured artificial intelligence, a derelict starship from the far future, and a dangerous time paradox that threatens to erase the human race. When the ghost ship awakens, orphaned Estee and guilt-haunted soldier Khalil must join forces to stop a rogue superintelligence, break a collapsing time loop, and destroy the man-made wormhole that could annihilate everyone they love.
Blending heart-driven character stakes with epic science fiction, The Stars of Redemption is a story of sacrifice, found family, AI catastrophe, and the terrifying cost of redemption. Perfect for readers who love character-driven science fiction with AI cataclysms, time paradoxes, and found-family survival against impossible odds.
