About this item
Description
Book Synopsis
They Both Die at the End meets The Loneliest Girl in the Universe in this mind-bending sci-fi mystery and tender love story about two boys aboard a spaceship sent on a rescue mission, from two-time National Book Award finalist Eliot Schrefer.
Two boys, alone in space. Sworn enemies sent on the same rescue mission.
Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There's more that doesn't add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship's operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed--not when he's rescuing his own sister.
In order to survive the ship's secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work together and learn to trust each other . . . especially once they discover what they are truly up against. Love might be the only way to survive.
Review Quotes
3, 2, 1...blastoff for mystery, adventure, and queer intergalactic bodice-ripping.--Kirkus Reviews "Absolutely brilliant. The Darkness Outside Us is a pulse-pounding thriller, engrossing science fiction epic, and heartfelt meditation on love all at once."--Malinda Lo, Author of Ash The Darkness Outside Us is equal parts terrifying, tender, and thrilling. I loved every word of this sharp, thoughtful look at the world we live in and the ones beyond. --Brandy Colbert, award-winning author of Little & Lion "Fiercely imaginative and desperately real, The Darkness Outside Us explores the wild expanses of the human heart. This book is a triumph." --Elana K. Arnold, author of Damsel, a Printz Honor Book Yes, The Darkness Outside Us is utterly inventive and relentlessly page-turning. And yes, Ambrose and Kodiak are seriously the hottest couple in space. But even more, this is an insightful, tender, and profound story, about the weight of history, and the power of transformation and true love.--Deb Caletti, National Book Award finalist and author of A Heart in a Body in the WorldDimensions (Overall): 8.5 Inches (H) x 1.3 Inches (W) x 5.6 Inches (D)

I just finished this book, and it only took me a few hours because I could not put it down. Kodiak and Ambrose’s story broke my heart, only to heal it, only to break it again. While the ending was a bit rushed, it was still satisfactory, at least for me. I wish there were another thousand pages. It’s profound and beautiful, poetic and compelling. You’ll fall in love with both of them only to realize the best person for each is the other. You’ll die a little with the end of each part of the book, then be revived by the beginning of the next part. The most engaging, heart-wrenchingly perfect read of the year so far for me.
