Aster believes she is a normal teenage girl – she is very wrong . . . Aster barely escapes with her life when her adoptive father is killed in a shooting. Suddenly finding herself under the protection of a special US military unit, she learns that blood tests indicate that she’s not even human. Unsure who or what she might be – or if any of this is true – Aster’s first instinct is to flee. Unfortunately, she soon finds she is caught between two warring sides: on one, her mortal enemies, the alien Trackers, and on the other, the American government. Then, from the most unexpected quarter, she finds someone offering to help her – someone her instincts tell her can’t be trusted.
‘The hottest new SF writer of the 21st century’

Now Aster can be certain of just two things: her blood is more vital than she ever knew and the fate of the world rests upon her survival.
For the First Time, Again is the mindbendingly twisty and unputdownable final book in the breathtaking Take Them to the Stars trilogy.
