Half romance, half {{first contact}}, half [[TheCaper heist story]] adds up to a tasty mix. The reality of ''Steal the Stars'' is quite similar to ours: large companies in bed with US government, immigrants from Mexico sneaking through the southern US border, retired military personel working for private outfits. Except for that one deeply hidden spaceship. And an alien body inside it. And a very peculiar engine on board of that spaceship.
