Book Description
The year is 2121. While Earth has conquered exploration of the Milky Way, we have yet to develop an interstellar engine to take us beyond our own galaxy. Thus the Intergalactic Exploration Alliance and the Gemini Project were formed. Lieutenant Tobias Dekker is fresh out of the IEA academy and determined to be assigned to the Gemini engineering team. Putting career above all else. He knows from experience that relationships have no place in the Alliance. Commander Caden Flynn is equally determined to see the Gemini prototype take flight to uncharted space. The engine is his late father's design and he wants nothing more than to be the test pilot that breaks the next light speed barrier. Two men dreaming of a sea of stars find that it's instead an ocean here on Earth that brings them together. Can Cade convince Toby to open up his heart and take a chance on love and explore the universe with him, side by side?

Zara Alam paints with a vivid brush, to create a heightened stylised world, and uses symbolism that is not only beautiful, but which also explores the latent psychology and internal landscape of her characters. While poetically evocative, and resonating with collective ideas and feelings, her prose still then tells a tale of love, spies, beauty and hope. Luc drives into a deserted London during a prolonged heatwave, to start a new life and leave the past behind. But his childhood friends have secrets here that span generations, and his new home and governmental occupation boast unsettling opulence and power, while his new neighbour, Mer, a woman who will not open herself to him, has him as though under a spell... During an intense, crisis ridden summer, Luc strives to unravel the secrets about him, and so, tries to help his friends whose lives are under threat, and yet, all the while he wishes that he could find his way to the new and untroubled life he sought in the first place, by falling in love with Mer.
