The Darkness Outside Us, by Eliot Schrefer, is an amazing combination of sci-fi and romance, with elements of trust and betrayal, and life and death.
This book starts out as just your classic futuristic sci-fi set in space when 17-year-old Ambrose goes on a mission to rescue his sister who is stranded on the planet Titan. Ambrose soon realizes that he is not the only person on the ship when he meets his shipmate Kodiak. Ambrose and Kodiak come from opposing countries that are at war with each other.
Set in the future, The Darkness Outside Us tells the story of Ambrose and Kodiak as they build trust in each other and take on the challenges of their mission (and trust me, there are many).
Despite the seemingly typical beginning, there are many unexpected twists and turns which make this novel a thrilling page-turner that will keep you guessing until the end.
This book sounds so interesting!! You did a great job summarizing, and it made me want to read this!
