"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
"Welcome to Extraction testing."
Clementine
has spent her whole life preparing for her sixteenth birthday, when
she’ll be tested for Extraction in the hopes of being sent from the
planet Kiel’s toxic Surface to the much safer Core, where people live
without fear or starvation. When she proves Promising enough to be
“Extracted,” she must leave without Logan, the boy she loves. Torn apart
from her only sense of family, Clem promises to come back and save him
from brutal Surface life.
What she finds initially in the Core is
a utopia compared to the Surface—it’s free of hard labor, gun-wielding
officials, and the moon's lethal acid. But life is anything but safe,
and Clementine learns that the planet's leaders are planning to
exterminate Surface dwellers—and that means Logan, too.
Trapped
by the steel walls of the underground and the lies that keep her safe,
Clementine must find a way to escape and rescue Logan and the rest of
the planet. But the planet leaders don't want her running—they want her
subdued.
With urgent writing, fluid dialogue, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Extraction is a page-turning, gripping read, sure to entertain lovers of Hunger Games and Ender's Game and leave them breathless for more. (Blurb via Goodreads)
Expected publication: July 22nd 2014
