Nyxia

£10.99

Emmett Atwater isn’t just leaving Detroit; he’s leaving Earth. Why Babel recruited him is a mystery, but the number of zeroes on his contract has him boarding their lightship and hoping to return to Earth with enough money to take care of his family, forever. As he and nine other teenagers wormhole their way through space, Emmett discovers that each recruit must earn the right to travel down to Eden. There, Babel will use them to mine a substance that’s quietly become the most valuable in the world. For the chosen ten, every training session is measured, every point matters, and Emmett will do anything to win. But Babel’s ship is full of secrets. And as Emmett uncovers the truth, he realises he’s not fighting for wealth or glory. He’s fighting for his life.

Description

‘Brilliant concept meets stellar execution in this fast-paced deep space adventure. I was hooked from page one’ Victoria Schwab, No.1 New York Times Bestselling Author

‘And just like that, I’m leaving Earth behind . . .’

Emmett Atwater is just a poor kid plucked from the streets of Detroit.

But now he and nine teenagers like him are travelling to a distant planet aboard the Babel corporation’s lightship.

Before they get there, they are told, two of them will be eliminated.

The eight who make it will land on an alien world, where they will hunt for Nyxia, the most extraordinary substance in the universe.

But first Emmett must endure frightening tests, rivalry with his fellow chosen ones and the fear that Babel aren’t telling the truth.

Because if Babel aren’t, they’ll be trapped, light years from home.

And all alone . . .

‘A high-octane thriller . . . Nyxia grabs you from the first line and never lets go.’ Marie Lu,#1 New York Timesbestselling author of the Young Elites series
