“With its unique plot and luminous prose, it’s hard to believe that
The Space Between the Stars is a debut novel. Anne Corlett
understands the complexities and frailties of the human heart and
captures it brilliantly on the page. Don’t let the setting fool
you—this is a story for any age, combining love, loss, grief, hope,
and possibilities all in one delicious book. Definitely one for my
keeper shelf.”—Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of
The Night the Lights Went Out
“A refreshingly intimate, hopeful take on the post-apocalyptic
genre...reminds me of Firefly.”—Den of Geek
“Corlett’s prose lures you in...She punctuates her characters’
conversations on human nature with action scenes that can make a
reader turn pages more quickly after lingering on those
conversations.”—Culturess
“Strikingly written, with very human characters and a deep concern
with human frailty...an excellent debut.”—Tor.com
“[A] fast-moving and gripping ‘end of the worlds’ tale focused on
the efforts of flawed survivors to ensure the end is not the end of
humanity.”—Jack Campbell, New York Times bestselling author of
Ascendant
“Corlett offers a thoughtful examination of how individuals find
meaning and fulfillment in the face of an apocalyptic event then
wraps up with a thrilleresque ending.”—Booklist
“Thought-provoking...The world-building is thoughtful, the prose is
beautiful and the quirks of the characters are well crafted.”—RT
Book Reviews
"Anne Corlett has taken the themes of apocalypse, people attempting
to create Utopia but unleashing Armageddon, population engineering
and breeding programs, and put her particular stamp on the
familiar. The Space Between the Stars is a sci-fi story laced with
homey details like e-readers and jigsaw puzzles—there are no
esoteric descriptions of warp drives or biodomes or aliens. But
there is adventure, there is romance, there is
self-discovery.”—Shelf Awareness
“Anne Corlett is a writer with huge potential, and I’m looking
forward to her future works.”—Claire North, author of The First
Fifteen Lives of Harry August
“An original thinker and a very, very effective writer.”—Fay
Weldon, author of Before the War
