About the book
Brighter Stars
A hothead cadet must fight to save their planet in Brighter Stars, an epic YA scifi graphic novel from creator Mars Lauderbaugh.
Lux Lorel is weeks away from graduating from the Leka Flight Academy and achieving their dream of becoming a pilot. Their plan is to escape the instability of their homeworld, patrol on the outer edges of the solar system, and defend against the combatants who destroyed the capital city and left the planet's Crystal energy source a finite luxury.
But even the allure of spending the rest of their life among the stars is no match for Lux's reckless curiosity. While on an unauthorized flight to their hometown–and ignoring a disciplinary probation–Lux’s ship is swept off course into ruins of the former capital. There, they discover that the enemy they were raised to hate was not responsible for the attack . . . and they aren't going to keep quiet about it.
Things become even more complicated when Halifax, Lux's best friend, and Starsmith, the right hand of the government, become involved . . . and Lux realizes they might be falling for both of them. But between a growing resistance and faltering power supplies, Lux worries there is little room for anything like romance. If the trio doesn’t uncover the truth and regain control of the Crystal trade, the entire planet will be compromised—or worse, destroyed.
