Echo Through the Stars by Jessica Lynn Medina

Watson explains how to find invisible planets around other stars, why dark matter matters, and the future of citizen space travel, all while recounting the seismic shifts in understanding that have taken place during his illustrious career. What happens to space and matter near a black hole? Where did the moon come from? How do we know what stars are made of? Are we alone in the universe? In Exploding Stars and Invisible Planets, Fred Watson, an award-winning astronomer, presents the most up-to-date knowledge on hot topics in astronomy and space science, providing a fascinating and entertaining account of the latest research. But with each step she takes, the planet of Echo-and Finn-begin to take hold of her heart. To rescue her grandmother and decide her own fate, she must master her gifts, as well as the political games that govern both worlds.

As Finn drags her into the depths of this strange new world, Avery is labeled a savior for the people of Echo. As fellow prisoner Finn Lunitia helps her escape, they find that Avery has incredible powers-powers that no human should possess. But soon after Avery undergoes a routine bioscan, the Earth Federation beats down her door and takes her into custody, along with her grandmother. She wants nothing to do with Earth’s pointless crusade against the native race of that world. But at least she is far removed from the war that rages on Echo, the sister planet just beyond the hypergate. Avery Vey lives on Level 4 of New San Francisco, scraping by on whatever deals she can make in the rough markets of the ground level.
