Mind. Blown...
I started The Stars Within on Sunday night, very reluctantly set it down waaaay past my bedtime, picked it up again Monday, and finished the last 50 pages at light speed and beyond. Wow! What a ride this book is. Extremely character-driven Scifi, but with an excellent handling of the technology involved, and alien menace, and medical menace as well. The ending was both wrenching and mind-blowing, and I had to go back to re-read it twice to really wrap my head around it. Alex Arch brings a strong talent to bear in crafting this novel, and I look forward to reading more of his work.

Awesome scifi!
The Stars Within is a fast-paced sci-fi action thriller with a somber emotional backbone. You can expect all your classic 60s pulpy space opera ingredients - mining colonies, an evil corporation, stowaways on space ships, chases, firefights, and of course a big alien threat. And the way everything ties together at the end would make Rod Serling proud. A great debut!
This is the powerful story about two worlds, so far and so close dealing with the enigmatic disease called cancer. Alex, thank you for bringing me on a marvellous escape, I was and still am captivated by your vivid imagination, your detailed and very effective writing and your sensitivity coping with human emotions. I got chills at chapter 14…
Congratulations! A must read for all
Stars Within
Standalone
Life finds a way, they say. Well, maybe life went too far. A dying star always shines brightest.
​
Thomas fights to beat cancer. Colette fights to save the human race.
A colonial miner crippled with debt, Thomas must flee his home to cure his recurring cancer. With his health declining at an alarming rate, his options are limited. Spend his last days surrounded by his loved ones or leave them behind for a slim chance to live. The choice is impossible, the prospect grim, and not for him alone.
A pragmatic military hero, Colette enrolls in a mission to thwart an alien invasion. She always gets the job done… unless Mia’s involved. She must then put her feelings aside as always or risk jeopardizing her assignment for the woman she once loved.
Two battles. Two realities. For one to succeed, the other must fail.
