Redemption Ark - by Eilis O'Neal (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Teenage criminals compete on a reality show in space to win their freedom in this sci-fi dystopian YA novel perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Illuminae.

Limited special edition will include sprayed edges, gorgeous designed endpapers, and deluxe effects on the jacket!

Four contestants. Four crimes. One shot at freedom.

Welcome to Season 7 of Redemption Ark. Aboard the intergalactic cruise ship hosting the hit reality show of the same name, eighteen contestants are no more than the crimes they committed. Unless one can prove to billions of voters across the galaxy that they deserve salvation.

Lane Holland is a spoiled heiress turned cold-blooded killer.
Dez Okoro-Andromeda is a scholarship kid who hacked her way to vengeance.
Ishaan Viswanathan isn't saying he didn't commit grand theft auto (space style).
Cutter Azevedo is ready to detonate a world that chewed him up and spat him back out.

There are seven days until the Ark reaches the Vault: an ultra-high-security prison where the losing contestants will serve the rest of their sentences. That's seven days for Lane, Dez, Ishaan, and Cutter to keep their secrets under wraps, and seven days to discover what the show itself is hiding.

Only one lucky contestant will get a second chance at freedom-if they can make it off this ship.
