Currently reading . . .RED STAR REBELS by Amie Kaufmann
This is the new novel from well known, award winning author Amie Kaufmann. It is a fast-paced YA sci-fi adventure set on a colonised Mars in the year 2067. When an emergency evacuation is triggered at a United Nations base, two very different teens — Hunter Graves, the privileged heir to the powerful corporate family that helped settle Mars, and Cleo, a clever stowaway with a rebellious streak — are accidentally left behind together. What starts as mutual irritation quickly escalates into something more serious when they discover the evacuation was a cover for a gang of mercenaries planning to blow up the base. With only eight hours to stop the explosion and save themselves, the duo must learn to work together, survive relentless dangers, and confront their growing feelings for one another — all while racing against the ticking clock. |
