The Brighter the Stars Review

Please check out the review of The Brighter the Stars by my fellow author, Armen Pogharian:

The Brighter the Stars is military action adventure for young adults. It contains numerous descriptions of space battles and individual combat. Much like his approach to technology, Prosek handles these sequences with a delicate hand. His narrative weaves enough specifics for readers to paint a detailed picture without getting bogged down in gratuitous particulars. While young love is a central aspect of the story, there are no sexually explicit scenes, nor is there any foul language or drug use. With that in mind, if Hollywood turned The Brighter the Stars into a movie and remained true to the author’s vision, it would receive a PG rating. While targeted at Young Adults, I believe older Middle Grade science fiction readers would also enjoy it. I recommend this action-packed tale to anyone interested in a plot-twisting space adventure.
