Here’s the set-up for Andrea K Höst’s Stray, just 99 Cents on Kindle :

Part 1 of the Touchstone trilogy.

On her last day of high school, Cassandra Devlin walked out of exams and into a forest. Surrounded by the wrong sort of trees, and animals never featured in any nature documentary, Cass is only sure of one thing: alone, she will be lucky to survive.

The sprawl of abandoned blockish buildings Cass discovers offers her only more puzzles. Where are the people? What is the intoxicating mist which drifts off the buildings in the moonlight? And why does she feel like she’s being watched?

Increasingly unnerved, Cass is overjoyed at the arrival of the formidable Setari. Whisked to a world as technologically advanced as the first was primitive, where nanotech computers are grown inside people’s skulls, and few have any interest in venturing outside the enormous whitestone cities, Cass finds herself processed as a ‘stray’, a refugee displaced by the gates torn between worlds. Struggling with an unfamiliar language and culture, she must adapt to virtual classrooms, friends who can teleport, and the ingrained attitude that strays are backward and slow.

Can Cass ever find her way home? And after the people of her new world discover her unexpected value, will they be willing to let her leave?

From the reviewers:

This is a great book, that I think anyone of any age would enjoy. But especially young adults who are just exploring new genres. I know that I will be looking for the second in the series and I will be purchasing it. The author creates believable characters and sitations that make you want to continue reading even when the book is over! I was so glad when I finished it today and found out she was publishing the second in the series today also! Happy reading everyone!  –  Gina Hurteau

Great story, well written and and all out enjoyable read.  Host has pulled me into the Touchstone Trilogy and I cannot wait to read the rest. I recommend anyone looking for a unique and fascinating science fiction story to purchase Stray and enjoy the story.  –  thewriterben

Free ebooks of this calibre are what makes Amazon and Kindle so superior to Kobo and Nook. Discovering a great new (to me) author like this is like finding buried treasure. I just bought her Medair series and the writing is just as good. Can’t wait for the third book!  –  David and Tracy Maki

Best sci-fi I’ve read this year.  Overall, the book is a lot of fun and I would rate it with the likes of Piers Anthony’s Adept and Xanth Series, but less drawn out and sporting better canon material. If the author decides to write more works in this vein, she will likely find great success in the long run.  –  Andreas Rakitai Curry
