Barbara Tarn’s Hacker is a futuristic story about love. After escaping the disaster that took his world, Jes-syd is trying to adjust to his new life. He has a new girlfriend despite his feelings for the girl he lost back on his planet. But when reports of survivors from his planet surface, things get complicated. Tarn’s writing is lively and flowing, bringing the emotion to life, and I liked Jes-syd as a character. This is a good one for anyone looking for a little drama splashed in with their sci fi or romance!

I actually think this was my favourite of the books in this particular Star Minds mini-series so far. Jes-syd is a great character, and I enjoyed reading his story.
