Home: Interstellar - Merchant Princess
"Hard sci-fi with a heart...complex, compelling tale of
galactic intrigue." --Kirkus
Reviews.
"In Home: Interstellar by Ray Strong we are presented
with a strong blending of genres, a science fiction tale that reads like a
pilgrimage with a haunted and haunting female character who combines strength
and grace in a way that instantly wins the reader over to her perspective and
her values, her every cause. ... The
characters here are fully realized, vivid and alive, and often do surprising
things - or do / say things that are very human, which can be rare. I especially like Meriel, who wins the reader
over early and often and seems fully realized on the page, alive and
breathing..." -- Writer's Digest.

The happy life of
twelve-year-old spacer Meriel Hope, her sister, and friends are torn apart when
pirates attack their home – the merchant ship Princess – and slaughter their
parents. Ten years of drugs, separation, and fear later, the galaxy has
forgotten about the attack. But Meriel still searches for the reason why. When
she finds the reason, she and the orphans become targets for the conspirators
again who fear what they might remember and who they could implicate.
