Seventeen-year-old Joss is a rebel--the daughter of a famous newscaster and a sperm donor; a wild girl who can play a mean harmonica; a student of time travel at the prestigious Centre for Neo-Historical Studies. This year, for the first time, the Centre has an alien student--Mavkel, from the planet Choria. And Mavkel has chosen Joss, of all people, as his roommate and study partner.

Joss is less than thrilled to have her freewheeling lifestyle ruined by the high-tech security surrounding Mavkel, and alarmed by the danger he seems to attract-an assassin and an anti-alien lobby are the least of it. Still, she is intrigued by Mavkel and his heritage, because the Chorians are a harmonizing species of twins who communicate through song. What better partner for a demon harmonica player?

Then Mavkel gets sick. First, the Chorians think that it is the Earth's atmosphere, but Joss soon realizes that he is worse than sick--he is pining for his lost twin, and his will to live is draining away. The only way Joss can help him is by breaking the Centre's strictest rules . . . and that means going back in time to change history.

Singing the Dogstar Blues is a genre-breaking mix of humor, science fiction, mystery, and adventure that will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.
