8 HOURS TO STOP AN EXPLOSION...8 HOURS TO FALL IN LOVE.
From the New York Times bestselling co-author of Illuminae and Aurora Rising comes a high-stakes, high-chemistry, sci-fi romp about a stowaway girl and the richest boy in the galaxy, racing the clock to outwit a gang of mercenaries.

It’s 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a lifeless rock into a chaotic patch of settlements. You can buy a one-way ticket to a new life--if you're rich.

Enter Hunter Graves, the handsome, ambitious grandson of the man who settled Mars. With spectacularly bad timing, Hunter arrives at the United Nations base just as an emergency evacuation sends everyone scurrying for safety. Except he’s left behind. Uh-oh.

Also stranded: Cleo, a sharp-tonged stowaway with no intention of dying today, and even less patience for overconfident trust fund boys. But the enemy of your enemy might just help you survive, so here we are.

It turns out the evacuation is just a cover for the mercenaries who come next, and the plan to blow up the base--and every trace of their crime--in eight hours.

Now, Hunter and Cleo have one shot to stop the explosion, escape alive, and deal with the inconvenient fact that they're falling for each other.

The clock is ticking.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This engaging Martian romance will keep readers glued to the page." —Kirkus Reviews

"This hilarious, fast-paced romp will be perfect for reluctant teen readers with its Andy Weir meets Die Hard flair....an accessible, teen-centered sci-fi adventure that anyone can escape into, especially if they're dreaming of being somewhere other than Earth." —Booklist

"An action-packed space romance." —School Library Journal

I love the suspense

A countdown to the end is the best part. Each chapter throws new pieces that are harder and harder to predict and it makes it hard to choose a side until the end. Love it will be listening to it again

Not great

This was.... okay.

I liked the plot, for the most part and the characters, for the most part. The main issues I had were that 1. these two kids were so LUSTY the ENTIRE TIME. They're literally about to explode and they're all over one another at any given time. It's so.... ugghhhhh. I hated it. And 2. ultimately, for a book about a space station hijacking.... this wasn't that exciting and the ending was anti-climactic. It was just.... there.

I can't say I hated it, but I didn't really like it either. It was just.... there.

Also, fair warning, this audiobook has SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC and it is very annoying because there are times when I want to hear the words but the sound effects are so LOUD that I can't.
