#19 Victories Greater Than Death by Charlie Jane Anders

[missingvolume]

 

Some teens feel like they are destined for something more but Tina knows it.  Tina is a clone of an alien commander that has been hidden on Earth with a rescue beacon implanted in her that will come to life and take her to the people she doesn’t know. Problems start as soon as the beacon goes off and her clone progenitor’s enemies come hunting her before her extraction can happen. Tina gets rescued and her artist best friend comes along for the ride.  Problems quickly crop up when the crew of the ship tries to give her the memories of her previous life and they quickly find out it doesn’t work for any info that has significant personal meaning to her. She can operate a ship but she doesn’t know anything about how to be the leader everyone needs her to be. The book wraps up well but there are two more planned in the series. Tina does grow in the book and learns to make her own path instead of just continuing what her clone parent had started.
