This is a journey. Arman Lance was supposed to travel the galaxy with his father, not watch him die. He was supposed to experience the adventures from his father’s stories, not isolate himself from the world. He was going to join the Embassy Program, fly across the galaxy, and find Ladia Purnell, a girl from another planet who he fell in love with years earlier. Clinging to his fading hopes and dreams, Arman joins the Embassy Program to fulfill that last promise. If he can reach Ladia, he’ll never have to worry, never have to feel alone. But it doesn’t take long for his plan to fall apart when he’s confronted by his fellow Embassy recruit, Glacia Haverns, the ever-smiling adrenaline junkie who decides it’s her job to show Arman there’s more to life than chasing a desperate obsession.

Review
- "The story has a very strong sci-fi setting, but the introduction to this future comes at a good pace, and never leaves you overwhelmed." --Nate M.
- "Arman reminded me a little of Holden Caulfield, not sure of his agenda, and too full of teenage angst to ask for or accept help." --Cathy S.
- "This story is about character growth. In the beginning, Arman is not extremely likable... It's about him learning to be a happier, better person." --Heather M.
- "The Hologis tournament. Hologis is visually stunning and relatively simple to get the hang of." --Jackson H.

You have to read this!
By Adi
At first, it seems like a story that is all about the future: flying Molters, exploring other planets, and finding that some stars and planets are no more. But it is so much more than that.
Once you really get into "Embassy" by S. Alex Martin – which is incredibly easy to do – you find that it’s more than a story of the future. Arman Lance lives his life with one goal: reuniting with a girl from another planet. He had fallen in love with her during one summer, and only thought about finding her again. But as the years pass and he becomes a part of the Embassy, he realizes just how much he may have wasted those years. Arman had isolated himself from his friends and worse…but still only yearned for Ladia.
Arman’s story teaches us a lesson some of us might not want to hear. He quite literally had almost missed the moon while counting the stars, and in more ways than one, letting his happiness be dependent upon returning to Ladia. With the help of some his new friends – Glacia especially – Arman sees just how much he has been missing in the past few years. Some people live their lives going through the motions of an everyday routine, working for the destination and not enjoying the journey; we see this in Arman. "Embassy" teaches you to live life to the fullest and be the happiest you can be. After all, you don’t want to look back on life at the end and say, “Eh, it was okay.”
The book constantly leaves you ready for the next page, toys with your emotions, and leaves you in suspense, all the way up to the most important decision Arman makes in his life thus far, walking all the way to the cliff of self-destruction. A work unlike any other I have ever read, it has truly lead me to wonder, am I living my life in the best way that I can, or will I look back and say that it could have been better?

Not a Sci-Fi fan, but enjoyed this book!
By catherine collins
I personally do not find sci-fi books interesting, but Embassy actually caught my attention. I would read it one day and pick it up a few days later and still be interested in it.
Embassy is a unique, life lesson novel that will have readers thinking about how they live their own lives each and every day.
Theme:
Self-Discovery, Life, and Forgiveness
Plot:
It’s the 44th century and Arman Lance is living on a planet called Undil. His father is an ambassador traveling to other planets. When another ambassador comes back with Arman’s father, Arman gets introduced to his daughter Ladia. Arman and Ladia fall in love during the summer and when she leaves to go back to her planet Belvun, Arman is devastated. He makes it his life mission to go to Belvun and reunite with Ladia, his one true love. But as he barks on the journey to Belvun, Arman faces obstacles he never thought he would have to overcome.
Characters:
Arman→ Okay first, I was sympathetic towards Arman, then annoyed, and now I think he is a pretty cool guy… and he doesn’t even know what a great person he can be! Arman was a jerk at the beginning of the book! There was negativity all around him and that made others stay away from him. Arman would put himself down and not live up to his full potential; just so he could stay in his comfort zone. But afterwards, he began to grow on me and I had respect for him.
The characters actually seem like real people. They had their own and unique personalities. It was fun and exciting to see how they were all different in their own ways.
Style/Setting:
The setting took place in outer space. Earth has been destroyed and now the human race is continuing on other planets.
Alex Martin has come up with his own planetary names such as, Belvun and Undil. Embassy is divided into three parts: The Recruits, The Void, and The Story.
I love the Hologis game Martin created for the characters to play. If you know what the movie The Purge and The Hunger Games is about, the Hologis game was like a combination of them both! This was one of my favorite scenes! The scenery was written perfectly and I felt like I was actually in the audience myself anxious to see who would be the last man or woman standing!
I love the characters and creativity this book has. Embassy stands out from the rest of the YA Contemporary and Sci-Fi novels. Usually my favorite character is the main character, but this time..its an old man! Ha! Can you believe it? His name is Captain Blitner.
Although, the beginning was slow and I wish there was more description of the characters’ appearances, Embassy teaches how life is precious and to not dwell or waste any opportunity that comes your way.
Lesson Learned? Live life to the fullest and don’t let your past hold you back.
**Recommended: for Sci-Fi fans and non-Sci-Fi fans

not your typical deep-space romance
By Joshua David Bellin
EMBASSY was not what I expected--and there are both positive and negative aspects to that. Knowing it was a deep-space drama/romance set years after human beings have left Earth to colonize other planets, I expected it to be like most such stories, with plenty of action, fantastic worlds, alien races, and schmaltzy kissing scenes. But it had none of the above; instead, it was a character-driven story about Arman Lance, a young man whose father has recently died and who joins the colonization program primarily to track down Ladia, a girl with whom he had a brief relationship several years before. What drives the plot is Arman's development from self-centered, self-pitying teen loner to more responsible, worldly, hopeful young man. I enjoyed watching him develop, and I appreciated that Martin decided to write a book that goes against expectations. I also found the world-building subtle and sophisticated, with the details of the colonization program emerging gradually as Arman goes through training and is then sent on his first deep-space mission.
All of this is good. What's not so good is the relative lack of tension, risk, and conflict in the story. It's not just that very little of a dramatic nature happens in EMBASSY; it's that I too seldom felt a strong sense of the characters being challenged or threatened in any significant way, whether physically or emotionally. In the first third of the book, the moment of highest tension--a well-rendered scene involving a high-tech game in which Arman and fellow recruits participate--provides some excitement, but it doesn't do much to move the plot forward, because, again, it doesn't seem to carry a significant element of tension or risk. Late in the novel, when Arman finally arrives at Ladia's home planet, there's another potential moment of high tension--but it doesn't quite pan out, and after it's gone, the book returns to the fairly flat, steady state it's maintained all along. I'm not asking for a book where the characters are constantly confronting and escaping life-threatening situations; Martin isn't writing that kind of book. But I did feel a need for more drama--even if, given the nature of the story, that was internal drama.
So I'm giving the book three stars for its intriguing concept, strong characterization, and gutsy decision to go against the grain--but I found myself wishing for a stronger story arc, one that propelled me forward with greater urgency.
