Elaine U. Cho — Teo's Durumi - with Alice Stephens

Teo Anand, former ne'er-do-well second son of the Anand Tech empire and current solar fugitive, has just crash-landed on the Moon after escaping the latest attempt on his life. But if anyone can help exonerate him, it's his best friend, bold Korean space pilot Ocean Yoon.Falsely accused of murdering his family, Teo is running out of both time and options. But loyalties are uncertain in their group of steadfast comrades and tentative new allies, and it's difficult to know who to trust in the tangled web that awaits them in Artemis, a city on the Moon rich in Korean history and haunted by ghosts from Teo's and Ocean's pasts. Further complicating matters are Haven--the pensive medic whose beliefs challenge Ocean's--and the dashing Phoenix--a space raider who's come blazing into Teo's life in more ways than one.All the while Corvus, the real culprit behind the slaying of the Anands, is sowing a path of destruction that threatens to swallow the solar whole. The crew will wrestle with clashing ideals, flying bullets, and undeniable feelings, as they race toward a stunning final stand.Teo's Durumi brings Cho's space opera duology to an exhilarating close, one that contends with questions of identity and acceptance; grief and redemption; and loyalty and sacrifice, as Teo, Ocean, and the people they love will decide once and for all how to forge their paths into the future.PURCHASE: https://politics-prose.com/book/9781638933656?ic_referral=Yy0xj__pTSoz8py_RnGYt1bIQO76z1BgTFYrVGdmiIQwM4-8cf05SUEYhd86JsSHKN98WfS2oBxwgcl07FiHQ-QeUC_EjezAXqNSkkw6fDRn9sPojZt2jsJveVRZEh9TaGq86ZUElaine U.
