WOW #83




I'm waiting on

 Avalon

Avalon by Mindee Arnett
Release Date January 21th 2014


Of the various star systems that make up the Confederation, most lie thousands of light years from First Earth—and out here, no one is free. The agencies that govern the Confederation are as corrupt as the crime bosses who patrol it, and power is held by anyone with enough greed and ruthlessness to claim it. That power is derived from one thing: metatech, the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light.

Jeth Seagrave and his crew of teenage mercenaries have survived in this world by stealing unsecured metatech, and they're damn good at it. Jeth doesn’t care about the politics or the law; all he cares about is earning enough money to buy back his parents' ship, Avalon, from his crime boss employer and getting himself and his sister, Lizzie, the heck out of Dodge. But when Jeth finds himself in possession of information that both the crime bosses and the government are willing to kill for, he is going to have to ask himself how far he'll go to get the freedom he's wanted for so long.

Why I'm Waiting?
Once again I just love futuristic books involving space. Teenagers mercenaries stealing metatech and finding something that the crime bosses and government want sounds exciting.

  16. I NEEEEEEDDDDD THIS BOOK! I requested it on Edelweiss, but unfortunately, I'm not auto-approved for Harper titles, and who knows how long it will be before they approve/reject those requests! I did request a print ARC - they said they'd put me on the list. *CROSSES FINGERS*

    Hope we both get to read Avalon soon! :)
