From bestselling author Lee Falin, a fast-paced YA space adventure perfect for fans of found family, sci-fi heists, and lighthearted space opera. When fifteen-year-old Malik escapes a Coalition mining camp with his friends in a stolen spaceship, he never expects their getaway to turn into a galaxy-wide chase. But that's exactly what happens when his best friend, Sarah, discovers their ship came with a stowaway: a Coalition clone named Kate whose secret memories make Malik and his friends a target for the galaxy's most powerful factions. When bounty hunters searching for Kate end up kidnapping Sarah by mistake, Malik must put aside his anti-clone prejudice and work with Kate to pull off their most dangerous heist yet-rescuing Sarah from a high-security Coalition prison.
