Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.

A Brilliant, Heartfelt Sci-Fi That Stays With You
Revisado: 04-01-25
The Darkness Outside Us wrecked me in the best possible way. I came for the sci-fi and clever premise… and ended up ugly-laughing, heart-clutching, and feeling things I absolutely did not expect from a space survival story.
This book is so much more than its concept. The characters are so well drawn—flawed, vulnerable, sharp, and funny. They felt real in a way that made every emotional moment hit hard, whether it was the aching loneliness of space, the quiet intimacy of connection, or the sharp jabs of humor that made me laugh out loud mid-chapter. It’s a true roller coaster: fear, despair, hope, joy, repeat. And I loved every second of it.
What makes it even more special is the queer representation. It’s such a breath of fresh air to see LGBTQ+ characters not just surviving, but thriving—falling in love, making terrible jokes, being messy and beautiful—in the future. Not historical trauma. Not coming-out narratives. Just queer people being fully alive in space, with all the trials and tenderness that come with it. I hope stories like this open hearts and build empathy, because this love story deserves to be seen.
Also—let’s be honest—there’s a little bit of spice here too. Not over-the-top or overly sexual, just the kind of slow-burn, emotionally charged tension that makes you ache for the moment they finally figure it all out. It’s more love than lust, and it’s so satisfying.
James Fouhey’s narration is stellar—nuanced, emotional, and fully immersive. He brings each character to life in a way that makes the audiobook feel like a cinematic experience. I still hear their voices echoing in my head.
I didn’t know a queer space romance could leave me feeling this seen, this inspired, and this emotionally invested—but here we are. Five glowing stars across the galaxy.
