Black Star

Stranded on an alien planet, two astronauts must battle deadly

elements and each other to recover a reserve shuttle built for one

Black Star is

a debut graphic novel by Eric Anthony Glover, based on his original

unproduced screenplay, and illustrated by Arielle Jovellanos. In the

future, interstellar travel is past its prime and sending shuttles

beyond our solar system—even for vital scientific research—is a

life-threatening gamble. However, in order to retrieve samples of an

alien flower that may hold the key to saving countless lives, Harper

North and her crew of scientists must journey to Eleos, a dangerous

planet in deep space.

But as they approach Eleos, their ship is

caught in an asteroid storm and as it hurtles towards the surface, its

reserve shuttle detaches, landing over 100 kilometers away. When the

rest of the crew perishes in the burning wreckage of the ship, North

races towards the rescue shuttle built for one, hoping to fulfill their

mission and survive.

But North isn’t alone: The team’s

wilderness expert is still alive and hell-bent on hunting North down and

claiming the shuttle for herself.

Now, North has no choice but to

reach the shuttle first—and fast. The fuel is leaking. Her GPS battery

is dying. And the planet’s deadly seasonal change is coming. As she

battles the flora and fauna and tries to elude her ruthless former crew

mate, North will find the cost of survival is dear . . . Will she be

willing to pay that price?
