This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
Publication
Date: July 24, 2018
Hardcover, 480 pages, Simon Pulse
Genres:
YA, Sci-Fi
Alien meets Alexandra Bracken’s The Darkest
Minds in this thrilling debut novel about
prison-guard-in-training, Kenzie, who is taken hostage by the superpowered
criminal teens of the Sanctuary space station—only to have to band together
with them when the station is attacked by mysterious creatures.
Kenzie holds one truth above all:
the company is everything.
As a citizen of Omnistellar
Concepts, the most powerful corporation in the solar system, Kenzie has trained
her entire life for one goal: to become an elite guard on Sanctuary,
Omnistellar’s space prison for superpowered teens too dangerous for Earth. As a
junior guard, she’s excited to prove herself to her company—and that means
sacrificing anything that won’t propel her forward.
But then a routine drill goes
sideways and Kenzie is taken hostage by rioting prisoners.
At first, she’s confident her
commanding officer—who also happens to be her mother—will stop at nothing to
secure her freedom. Yet it soon becomes clear that her mother is more concerned
with sticking to Omnistellar protocol than she is with getting Kenzie out
safely.
As Kenzie forms her own plan to
escape, she doesn’t realize there’s a more sinister threat looming, something
ancient and evil that has clawed its way into Sanctuary from the vacuum of
space. And Kenzie might have to team up with her captors to survive—all while
beginning to suspect there’s a darker side to the Omnistellar she knows.
My Thoughts
This one has a mix of Prison
Break vibes meets a little bit of Illuminae.
I’m excited to get my hands on this one, especially since it’ll be coming out
close to when season three of The Expanse,
a sci-fi television show, ends. I’ll need a good YA sff book to get me out of
my funk. I’m just hoping my roommate can nab me a free copy. ;)
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
That's a new to me one! Sounds intriguing!
