Overview

The first in a thrilling new trilogy of epic proportions from bestselling children's author Thalia Kalkipsakis. A fresh take on the time tripping genre, The Lifespan of Starlight is Gattaca meets The Time Traveler's Wife. It already lies dormant within you: the ability to move within time. In 2084, three teenagers discover the secret to time travel. At first their jumps cover only a few seconds, but soon they master the technique and combat their fear of jumping into the unknown. It's dangerous. It's illegal. And it's utterly worth it for the full-body bliss of each return. As their ability to time jump grows into days and weeks, the group begins to push beyond their limits, with terrifying consequences. Could they travel as far as ten years, to escape the authorities? They are desperate enough to find out. But before they jump they must be sure, because it only works in one direction. Once you trip forwards, there's no coming back.

Reviews

""Kalkipsakis raises some intriguing and thought provoking ideas, such as relative time theory, in this well paced action sci-fi romance...This is a well written, intelligent page turner. Recommended 12+"" -- ""CBCA Reading Time"" ""Once again, Kalkipsakis draws the reader in with fast-paced, easy to absorb prose, and a plot that will likely keep you up into the night, forever reading 'one more chapter.'"" -- ""100PercentRock Magazine"" ""One of the things that makes this series so successfully compelling is that it took two unrelated, solid ideas--everyone being 'chipped' and time travel--and combined them to make a story greater than the sum of its parts."" -- ""Tsana's Reads and Reviews""
