Chasing the Stars




Malorie Blackman – the multi-million-copy-selling author of NOUGHTS AND CROSSES – entwines mystery thriller, heart-rending love story and space adventure, in her new breath-taking novel, inspired by one of the world’s greatest stories.

Two lives collide. Loss. Lies. Love.

What happens when love brings loss? When love brings lies? When love brings hate?


Olivia and her twin brother Aidan are heading alone back to Earth
following the virus that wiped out the rest of their crew, and their family, in its entirety.

Nathan is part of a community heading in the opposite direction.
But on their journey, Nathan’s ship is attacked and most of the community killed.
Only a few survive.

Their lives unexpectedly collided, Nathan and Olivia are instantly attracted to each other, deeply, head-over-heels – like nothing they have ever experienced.

But not everyone is pleased. Surrounded by rumours, deception, even murder, is it possible to live out a happy ever after . . . ?
