Forced into an arranged marriage with Adem Sadiq, a maintenance engineer and self-styled musician who works the trade lanes aboard his family’s sub-light starship, the Haji, Hisako Saski finds their personal issues overshadowed by a chance at faster-than-light travel. Original.

The captain of a family-owned starship arranges a marriage for her son in hopes of achieving faster-than-light travel and maybe, just maybe, marital bliss.

Before Hisako Saski is even born, her parents make a deal on her behalf. In exchange for a first-class education and a boost out of poverty, Hisako will marry Adem Sadiq, a maintenance engineer and self-styled musician who works the trade lanes aboard his family's sub-light starship, the Hajj

Hisako is not happy when she finds out about the plan. She has little interest in the broken branch of physics the deal requires her to study, and is not keen on the idea of giving up her home and everything she knows to marry a stranger. 

Sparks fly when Adem and Hisako meet, but their personal issues are overshadowed by the discovery of long-held secrets and a chance at faster-than-light travel.

Arvustused

"The Light Years is one of best novels about the psychological challenges of relativity Ive ever read.  This is what science fiction was invented for!" Love in the time of relativity. Greene paints a picture of the social complexities of the lightspeed era, with realistic characters navigating interstellar intrigue. "Laced with politics, science, history, poetry, music, greed, hope, and a little Johnny Cash, this character-rich space opera has a well-developed and believable plot that kept me reading from the opening line to the surprising and satisfying end." "The Light Years is a thought-provoking debut from a skilled writer."  "Sophisticated worldbuilding and diverse, emotionally-resonant characters make Greene an author to watch." "The main characters are distinctive, Greene's dialogue lively and the prose vivid." "On the surface, you get an engrossing space opera, but if you look deeper you will find explorations of poverty, arranged marriage, and the toll that difficult moral choices take on families." "there is always light to be found in the darkness and great discoveries lurk in unexpected places.
