  Book Details: Lost Horizon (Oz in Space, #1) by Michelle Hercules Publication date: June 10th 2019 | Fantasy, Romance, Young Adult Synopsis: A magical planet torn apart by war. A defiant space pilot cadet determined to save the ones she loves. The adventure of a lifetime. Oz like you have never seen before. Space Academy prodigy Dorothy Hanson doesn’t have time for love nonsense. She has one goal, complete the mission her parents started before their untimely death. When a cosmic disturbance hits the Kansas Space Station, Dorothy seizes that opportunity to go on her first space voyage. She didn’t expect to be sucked into a vortex nor land on a strange planet ravaged by war. Stranded, she must embark on a perilous mission to the Land of Oz, the only nation that possesses the technology to send her home. Three strangers join Dorothy in her quest, all carrying reasons of their own for reaching Emerald City. A man without memories marked with a strange symbol on his face. A cyborg with a chip on his shoulder and a mysterious past. And a scarred hellioncat plagued by nightmares in the dark. Dorothy doesn’t know if she can trust them, but as their journey progresses, their bond becomes stronger and Dorothy’s feelings evolve from suspicion to caring too much. Torn between contradicting emotions, she must find the strength to fight the evil forces that stack up against them along the way. Surviving the trip on the yellow road is priority number one, but can she survive losing her heart? Goodreads | ~ Purchase: Amazon |  Lost Horizon Except 2 The sky is midnight blue with no stars or any moons in sight. I feel so strange, staring at the alien canvas. It’s almost like there’s something wrong with it. There’s no sign of Mirus, which makes me worried the celestial being has left the orbit of Oz. The last time it appeared in our solar system, it only stayed for a few weeks. Toto becomes restless in my arms, as if he’s picking up on my somber mood. His movements remind me that my wrists are still bound. “Hey, Metal Pants. Can we stop now?” The cyborg whirls around. The shadows across the planes of his face make the sharp edges even more pronounced. His robotic eye shines blue for a moment before the light dims. " Do you need to pee?” Heat rushes to my cheeks. I’m glad it’s dark and he can’t see how his simple question made me mortified for no reason. “Why are you getting all flustered? Are you one of those girls who gets embarrassed about everything?” My jaw drops. “How did you know … ugh, never mind. That special eye of yours has an infrared sensor, doesn’t it?” Even in the gloom, I catch the slight upturn of his lips. “Among other things.” “Dorothy’s wrists are still bound. Do you have anything that can cut through the bindings?” the sorcerer pipes in. “Right.” The cyborg approaches, stopping only one step away from invading my personal space. Involuntarily, tension spreads through my body, and I clutch Toto tighter. “Relax,” he continues. “I’m not going to hurt you.” “Are you implying I’m afraid of you?” He cocks his head to the side, his long bangs covering a portion of his face. “Your heartbeat says so.” “Stop reading my vitals with your freakish eye,” I snap. The cyborg’s chest expands right before he releases a loud gale of air through his mouth. “Put your robo-dog down if you don’t want his body damaged.” Still glaring at him, I set Toto on the ground. The poor dog runs to the sorcerer, hiding between his legs with a whine. To show I’m not scared of the cyborg like Toto is, I lift my chin and raise my bound hands. “All right. Do your thing.” When the cyborg arches one eyebrow, I amend. “Please?” He lifts his mechanical hand. From his index finger, a small knife slides out. In one swift move, he cuts the leather bindings from my wrists as if they were made out of butter. “That’s a sharp blade you have there. Planning on scalping anyone?” I rub my wrists. The cyborg grins again. “Not today.
