But when Roose leaves his Ivy League confines to spend a semester at Liberty University, a conservative Baptist school in Lynchburg, Virginia, obedience is no longer optional.

Duke has consistently been among the top five schools in the team recruiting rankings, with 21 players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft since 2011. What level would the Blue Devils be able to recruit? Would Krzyzewski still be on the trail? Over the past 10 years, Krzyzewski has recruited at an all-time high. This question could be asked from a few different angles. However, when he announced this was his final season, it did leave at least one question: How would Duke recruit? Krzyzewski has accomplished more than any coach in the history of the sport. This story has been told ad nauseam, and this retirement came as no surprise with his track record: 42 years, 1,100-plus wins, and a Basketball Hall of Fame induction.

Now, in Escaping Exodus, we get a take on space opera that feels totally Nicky Drayden, while also being very different from both her previous novels. Nicky Drayden is a favourite of ours around these parts, given her track record of delivering wild and weird forays into science fiction and fantasy (often simultaneously).
