Summary:

All Ven Sole wants is to be normal. The planets, however, want him dead. It wasn’t his fault that he was created by a mad scientist and his pet and then tossed into the vastness of space rejected. VARDs have no choice but to become space pirates to survive. Still, Ven likes to do the “right” thing. Chatrooms become his main glimpse into normal life, but even they come at a cost that threaten to destroy his views of normalness, loyalty, love, and self-respect.

In one freak accident that tore off her finger, Rose Winder lost it all. She lost her status as a Beatball player on the school team. She lost her social status of being normal. She’d already lost her best friend to that boy. Her only escape is found in chatrooms where no one can tell who she is. Or who her father works for. One person gives her hope and courage, but when she sees him in real life, everything about her world is about to become inverted. What is right and what is wrong? Who is the enemy? For real?

A science fiction novel that will get you thinking about loving yourself and others no matter what they look like.
