Summary:
Set in the longer term, this action-packed YA novel-already optioned by Sony Pictures-will take visitors out of the world and about a quest to become one of 6 teens sent on a mission to Jupiter’s moon. This is the next must-read for followers of Illuminae and The Martian.
When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with twenty-two of the world’s brightest teens, in to the International Space Teaching Camp, their lives are permanently changed. Overnight, they become global superstars in contention for one about THE ULTIMATE Six of the six slot machine games to go to Europa-Jupiter’s moon-and set up a new colony, leaving their planet forever. With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders.
For Leo, an Italian tournament swimmer, this sort of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. But Naomi, an Iranian-American technology genius, is dubious from the ISTC and the actual fact that a related objective failed under mysterious circumstances, killing the astronauts onboard. She worries something equally sinister awaiting the Final Six beneath Europa’s surface.
With this cutthroat atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from all over the world, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. As the training tests their limitations, Naomi and Leo’s romantic relationship deepens with each life-altering knowledge they encounter.
But it’s only when the finalists become fewer and their destinies grow nearer that both can fathom the full weight of everything on the line: the globe, the stars, and their lives.
