(And I went to a magnet high school) I'm certain there are exceptions to the rule, but that's irrelevant when conjuring up the weak plot of making teens the only ones physically capable of surviving the interplanetary trip. Why do so many authors dream up these scenarios where teens are our most important resource? the majority of teens I grew up with were stupid, self important, loud mouths who more interested in surviving the mundane pageantry that all high schooler are unwillingly subjected to. As the training tests their limits, Naomi and Leo's relationship deepens with each life-altering experience they encounter.īut it's only when the finalists become fewer and their destinies grow nearer that the two can fathom the full weight of everything at stake: the world, the stars, and their lives. In this cutthroat atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from around the world, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. She fears something equally sinister awaiting the Final Six beneath Europa's surface. But Naomi, an Iranian-American science genius, is suspicious of the ISTC and the fact that a similar mission failed under mysterious circumstances, killing the astronauts on board. With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders.įor Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. Overnight, they become global celebrities in contention for one of the six slots to travel to Europa - Jupiter's moon - and establish a new colony, leaving their planet forever.
When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with 22 of the world's brightest teenagers, into the International Space Training Camp, their lives are forever changed.
This is the next must-listen for fans of Illuminae and The Martian. Set in the near future, this action-packed YA novel - already optioned by Sony Pictures - will take listeners out of this world and on a quest to become one of six teens sent on a mission to Jupiter's moon.
