Think of the great open spaces of a John Steinbeck novel. Think of the gin-and-jazz era of Scott Fitzgerald sent through the prism of a fine modern imagination' Readers Digest It's 1928. Alan Barber is in love with his best friend's girl.
Clyde Tombaugh is stuck at home farming crops - about as far from his dream of becoming an astronomer as is possible. But by 1930, Alan will be enthralled in his life's greatest romance, and Clyde will have made one of the most significant astronomical discoveries of the twentieth century. Based on a true story, this is an incredible tale of love, ambition and the fullest sweep of human emotion.
Filled with a wondrous cast of fascinating characters and set in the last, vibrant days of the flapper era, it's a novel that will leave you as awestruck as the clear night sky. `The Unfixed Stars is ambitious in its scope, but to read it is to entrust yourself to a writer in seemingly complete control' Times Literary Supplement `It is a rich mix of characters, and Byers handles them assuredly. He has the rare ability to make a multistranded story seem utterly coherent and seamless.
Their tales are suffused with a lovely sense of the period . . .
If a passing alien were to be curious about the hopes, dreams and fears of the species who launched the probe, The Unfixed Stars would be a good place to start' The Times

Описание: Mitchell Beckett knew that he would not be able to move on with his life completely until he solved a mystery from the past. Getting shot at in the process, however, was not part of the plan. After several surgeries, Mitchell was suddenly faced with taking time off from work, something he admittedly was not very good at. His one focus for the time being was to go to physical therapy to work on getting back on his feet and walking without the help of crutches. But when he arrives at the rehabilitation center, the last thing he expected was to run into the woman who had rejected him years before. After years of pining for the one man who walked away from her and left her broken-hearted, Reagan Andrews had finally picked up her life and found a way to move on alone. Then one day, out of the blue, hewaltzes back in-or rather hobbles back in-and demands answers about the past. Having Mitchell back in her life was unexpected and entirely unwelcome. Threats were coming at her from several angles and the last thing she needed was to have to deal with the past as well as what was happening in her present. Mitchell tries to honor her request to steer clear of her but when Reagan comes up missing, there's no way he can stay out of it. He needs to find out what happened to her, and he especially needs to have a conversation with her about their past and why she stopped communicating with him. More importantly, she needs to answer for her betrayal in the secret she kept from him. The problem is...can he find her in time and if he does...will she finally confide in him?
