How does honor among thieves work

Aliens come to earth offering help and more to humans. These are not your typical two legged, upright aliens no these are like spaceships.

You can travel in them, and some humans go on a kind of foreign exchange program traveling out into the universe with them. How cool is that? Oh but it gets so much better, they can communicate with humans, in ways that I'm not going to tell you but they are awesome. The book centers on one alien, and his honors humans two very different girls.

This alien is a kind of runt of the litter, and on his last chance mission. Yes, there is a tug on the heart strings. One of the girls is not a follow the rules type and quickly crosses the line with questions and bonding with her host more than she should. There are space fights, dramatic encounters, emotional breakthroughs, and revelations that shock.

I loved it, I want to hear it on audio now. It was so visually written it would be a fabulous movie. Please make the movie somebody. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book. The characters where all so well developed I was felt for all of them. I'm shocked I'm not a SciFi reader, I expected to not like this. It ends with a cliffhanger so be ready to grab the next book. I've been wanting to read Honor Among Thieves ever since I heard Ann Aguirre give a reading last year, let's face it you don't often get to read stories about a girl who falls in love with a sentient space ship so the concept had me hooked!

This was such a fun story and the writing switched seamlessly between Ann Aguirre and Rachel Caine , I definitely couldn't pinpoint who wrote which parts. The story starts by showing us Zara's life on earth, things have been hard for her and she ended up living on the streets and working with a gang to survive, she's done things she's not proud of but she's only ever done what she needed to do to survive. When things go badly she ends up in a young offenders institute and without drastic changes she knows her life is on the line when her old gang eventually manage to catch up with her.

It's then that she is offered the chance to take part in the Honors Program, a highly specialised training program that gives her the opportunity to travel through space with one of the Leviathans. The Leviathans are huge, whale like aliens that swim through the galaxy like it's an ocean, they are ancient and powerful and they have the ability to allow humans to live inside them to join them on their journeys.

After training Zara and her crew mate Bea are paired with Nadim, one of the younger Leviathans who is only just beginning his own journey. Working together the girls have to figure out how to survive in space and when Nadim gets injured in a fight with one of his own they start to realise how little humans really know about the Leviathans and what they want with us. I really enjoyed this story, the world building was great but it was once Zara and Bea go to space and start to bond with Nadim that things really get interesting.

I loved that both girls were immediate allies and friends rather than two women facing off against each other like you so often see in YA. They both have different strengths and personalities but they're happy to work together so there are no petty issues to worry about.

What I liked most was getting to know Nadim though and seeing the girls through his eyes, the way the Leviathans are described and the way they see and hear the universe was just fascinating and the authors made it so easy to picture what was happening. Leviathans form a psychic bond with their crew and the developing feelings between Nadim and Zara were really well written, there is definitely love there but it's more of a soul bond than anything particularly romantic so there was nothing that weirded me out.

This was a great introduction to the series and it definitely left me excited to see how the story continues. I think we still have so much to uncover about the Leviathans and the reason they contacted humans in the first place and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how that plays out. Written by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre? Colour me curious. Chelsies Reading Escape. If I could only recommend 1 Scifi book this would be it!

This book hooked me right from the prologue. From that point on I just knew I was reading my next favorite book. The concept was so incredibly fascinating.

Living alien ships have made contact with Earth and agreed to share planet saving technology in exchange for chosen human representatives every year who are willing to go on a 1 year tour of space with them. They tell the world their goal is to learn from the cultural exchange, but not everyones convinced their motives are that simple.

Our main character Zara is a runaway thief who is suddenly chosen to go on the tour. Despite not knowing why aliens would choose a criminal with violent tendencies for the tour, she does know this is her only chance to avoid the long reach of a dangerous mobster with a serious grudge.

Her background story and developpement added a lot of depth to her character. Her criminal side taught her to be resourceful and cunning. She wasnt afraid to ask the hard questions and I loved that about her. She was just an amazing character. Her interactions with the alien ship Nadim were super compelling. I got completely invested in their relationship. I also loved how Zara and Beas friendship evolved. I thought the mystery behind the aliens motivations was very intriguing.

I enjoyed the little parts between chapters implying the aliens might have more sinister motivations than they let on. The idea of living alien ships and reading from their perspective was so captivating. This was definitely my number one favorite book of and I read quite a few incredible books.

The writing was easy to immerse myself in and the descriptions sprinkled in made the world come to life. I loved its addictive quality. I read it in less than 2 days because I just couldnt put it down.

When they first start traveling in space we get to explore Zara and Nadims relationship. The action mixed witg the character development was perfect and the ending was just so freaking epic. I love the direction the plot took and I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel. Id totally recommend this if you like scifi because it was phenomenal.

Lilly Lair Of Books. Diversity, EPIC adventure, sarcasm, aliens, awesome crew, and mystery! When we meet our MC Zara, she is on the streets trying to survive in a cut throat world. This is all in efforts to avoid the powerful clutches of those intent on squeezing her for info on the gadget she stole.

The Honors program recruits her, a never before seen move. This program was created in partnership with the Leviathan who are Aliens that are credited for saving the human race from total annihilation. The Leviathan are aliens that act sort of like spaceships in the sense that the Honors all have to board a Leviathan.

As a survivor of child abuse, Zara has detached herself from her parents. Getting recruited into the Leviathan program has a major effect on her fierce need to not be tethered to any person,place, or thing. There were some tough scenes where she recollects moments of physical abuse at the hands of her very religious father. Beatrice aka Bea is musically inclined, with a beautiful voice it makes sense why the Leviathan have chosen her to join the expedition. Bea is Brazilian and knows 4 different languages, with a large family waiting for her return to Earth, she is the exact opposite of Zara.

Nadim- Saved the best for last! Nadim does try to adhere but more often that not, he goes off course. I also love the fact that we get to see some of the aliens that inhabit other worlds who have joined the Leviathan program. What I Liked: I was expecting to love this book, because it's science fiction, and I adore Rachel Caine's books, and I adore Ann Aguirre's books, and this book sounded really great in general. How awesome is it that these two powerhouse authors collaborated to create this story!

Plato discussed the concept in Greek in his work Republic, which dates all the way back to B. The opposite view there is no honor among thieves is a contrasting proverb. People may believe one or the other, and they may say either to suit their current situation. In this example, a man uses the expression while talking to his friend about his brother.
