Rating: 4 out of 5

Birthright is a great read for anyone who enjoys science fiction, romance, suspense, and an abandoned baby with suspicious origins. Beginning with a retired astronaut who has used his accumulated wealth to buy his own space exploration program on a tiny income-starved island, Birthright never stops tantalizing the reader with teasers. Why is Hackett obsessed with this last-ditch effort to visit space again? Where did genius and astrophysicist Adam Desai come from? Will humans become slaves for an alien race?Author Valerie Parv keeps the action flowing so smoothly that the book is over before the reader is ready. Her characters are brilliantly crafted as well, each with richly full histories that have molded their wants and needs and passions. The paranormal aspects of the story are believable and add another layer to an intense story. I bit my fingernails and was on the edge of my seat throughout the story.
