StarBridge (StarBridge #1)

WE ARE NOT ALONE, AND WE’RE ABOUT TO MEET OUR NEIGHBORS

Can the bond formed between two very different friends be strong enough to bridge their differences and save their people? Come along in this first book in the StarBridge Series in an exciting journey across the stars in a desperate gamble to save both their worlds.
