A sci-fi thriller

Baylee Brenner’s face doesn’t look like everyone else’s face — a fact she’s been living with all her life, but which takes on much more import when it comes time to find her soul mate. When the first shomer Shabbos shuttle to Planet Myazma is announced, the Brenners see an opportunity for Baylee to find her match through a completely different model of dating.

But the issues on Myazma are more than skin deep. The Zygode is up to nefarious things, his Zygoons are mindlessly doing his bidding, and honest citizens are being sent to The Edge, some of them never heard from again.

And what Baylee discovers about herself on Myazma is enough to send her spinning into a completely different orbit.

Action. Adventure. Intrigue. And a whole lot of heart — Separate Orbits is a sci-fi thriller by Yael Mermelstein, popular author of A Fragile Thread, Chutes and Ladders, and Petals among many other riveting titles.
