Mars colonist Michelle Arensen, taken from her home against her will and flung into deep space, finds herself in the custody of an intimidating alien race, the powerful Vinyi. Despite her best efforts, the odds of getting back to her family start to dwindle, and Michelle unexpectedly finds that she's begun creating a new place for herself among her alien hosts. But not all Vinyi embrace the idea of a human living among them, and Michelle's hope of ever having a normal life again dims further with each passing day. To survive what the Vinyi have in store for her, she will have to determine when to fight, when to let go, and the difference between giving up and moving on.
A BookLife by Publishers Weekly Editor's Pick
"Found is a thoroughly moving, engaging, original, highly intelligent piece of fiction, with themes that run as deep as the questions it raises, the laughter it inspires, the empathy it stirs. Found takes a sci-fi premise and elevates it into a clever meditation on humanity, often from an extraterrestrial perspective. A brilliant debut." -- Marthese Fenech, bestselling author of The Siege of Malta trilogy
"The fast-paced plotline [is] conveyed in a direct, nonjargony prose (some may recall genre master Alan Dean Foster), ... [A] resourceful human fights to navigate and survive a perilous alien environment... and much weight is accorded to the emotional states of the players... Aye, Captain, there is intelligent life in this involving SF adventure." - Kirkus Reviews
