Starlite is now a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree

When the universe throws him a curveball, Bevil Cyrex finds himself adrift in space on a ship determined to kill him. But then, in a stroke of luck, he stumbles across an ancient and abandoned space station called The Starlite.

Once he is on board the station, Bevil soon finds himself befriending a nanite swarm that takes on the appearance and mannerisms of his grandmother.

Bevil sets out to repair the station and open it up for business, unaware that he is currently being hunted by a former mob enforcer out for revenge. He will also have to contend with various threats of invasion, marriage and death.

Bevil will need to rely on his quick thinking and courage if he is to succeed.

Discover the thrilling story of Bevil and the Starlite station in this award-winning science fiction adventure.

If you enjoyed Robert Heinlein's classic science fiction tales like Tunnel in the Sky, Citizen of the Galaxy and Starman Jones, then you'll love Starlite.

Review

"One of this novel's greatest strengths is its strong and steady narrative focus. Latt's writing is purposeful, the pacing relentless, and the action virtually nonstop; it all has the glorious sense of wonder associated with Golden Age SF. Cyrex is insightfully portrayed as a young man trying to find his place in the universe, and the supporting characters are all brilliantly developed...Bombshell plot twists abound as Cyrex and company struggle to open the space station and stay alive as pirates and Alliance military eye the structure as a potential base.
An entertaining and promising beginning for a neo-retro spacefaring adventure series."
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Jonathan Latt brings us right in and completely immerses us" - Texas Book Nook

"Starlite is an absolute joy to read...Not only is the story fun from start to finish, but it's also unpredictable...I highly recommend Starlite for a fun, action-packed, sci-fi tale that's unlike anything else out there." - Author Scott Cahan

"Jonathan Latt delivers a slick, amusing, and action-packed space adventure that will grip you right off the bat with its charming characterization." - Author K.C. Finn

The Geek:

"Latt is a stylish and confident writer...Quick with both a quip and a memorable quote, he makes the prosaic sound profound..."

The U.S. Review of Books (Joe Kilgore)

:

I truly enjoy writing and it really never feels like work. Okay, mostly never feels like work.

My first novel The Geek, was actually a departure for me. I write and consult mainly in the world of science fiction and fantasy. The Geek, is more of a hardboiled, pulp, thriller and quite dark at times.

Folks who have read my books have said they are definitely filled with words. These words are used in a very clever way to form sentences, which then form paragraphs until a page is just jammed packed with them. I do this repeatedly throughout the novel.

It has been brought to my attention that my use of consonants and vowels to form these words is very helpful and made reading the book easy. As opposed to some writers who will use geometric shapes and small squiggly drawings that resemble bacon to form their words.

I am a lifelong lover of comic books, video games, science fiction and fantasy. My favorite authors include Robert Heinlein, Ernest Cline, William Gibson and Mark Twain.

Once the technology is perfected, I hope to own a robotic chimpanzee that will accompany me on many adventures. We will travel the globe solving crime, eating pie and saving the day.

I think it's safe to assume that we're gonna look pretty cool doing that.

The story takes place thousands of years in the future where good and evil dwell in the far reaching sectors of the universe. The characters are very well developed and you are sure to turn the pages with ease as Jonathan Latt keeps you intrigued and guessing what will come next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful world building

This was a fantastic and very enjoyable read. Never a dull moment, and I found it difficult to put down.
John has an incredible ability to build and sustain a world and lore that you can understand and follow easily. I'm not much of a Sci-Fi fan, so I was worried I'd get lost in the jargon, but he detailed the world so well and it felt so rich, that I was able to see everything in my minds eye clearly. The characters have well thought out arcs, and the story has a consistent pace that sees something new unfolding every chapter. Highly recommend!

The characters and story line were amazing. The author did a lot of research too on weapons in space that I never thought about and had to look up to see if it was true and it was. I loved that this book is not a cliffhanger but leaves the door wide open for a lot more adventures. I hope to read them all if they come.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Weird Sort of Tale
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2023

While the storyline was entertaining and character development more than sufficient, the overall theme was just strange. The book starts in a typical sci-fi mode and then slowly morphs, adding elements that are unreal and outside the norm. The book ends at a pause, with some resolution but not for all threads.

4.0 out of 5 stars I want to visit a Starlite!
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2023

This was a fast read for me -- which I love! Lots of action and being inside the Starlite was my favorite, particularly giving me flashbacks to 80's shopping malls. The humor and frequent violent skirmishes elicited a Guardians of the Galaxy-type flavor. I liked the relationship between Bevil (the protagonist) and Tess as it didn't diminish her in any way. The Nan character is awesome -- very creative. That was a completely new type of "person" for me. One star off as I'm not sure that a book is the ideal format for this type of space romp. It's crying out for visuals. I'd definitely watch this movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023

I am not normally a Sci-Fi fan, but I was a fan of the Author's first book, The Geek. So I decided to give it a try and I am glad that I did. Starlite is a great fast paced space adventure. The characters are diverse and believable as well as the dialog and banter between them. It reminds me of the buddy action movies from the 80's. (48 hours etc). This is a well rounded great read and I definitely can see it turned into a Netflix series. Hopefully there will be a sequel in the distant future. If you are looking for a great fast paced read, this in one to check out.
