Beyond the Farthest Star by Bodie Thoene

I have read many books by these authors and I have to say `'Beyond the Farthest Star`' was definitely the darkest novel they have written. However, I still enjoyed it and shed tears at the end. Although Anne was hard to like, especially at the start, I feel sorry for her as she bucked her father's expectations.

Full of tension, suspense, intrigue and emotion, I found it hard to stop reading this novel and the climax was explosive. A good read.
