The Breakfast Clubย meetsย Guardians of the Galaxyย in this YA sci-fi adventure by debut author M. K. England.
Hotshot pilot Nax Hall has a history of making poor life choices. So itโs not exactly a surprise when heโs kicked out of the elite Ellis Station Academy in less than twenty-four hours. But Naxโs one-way trip back to Earth is cut short when a terrorist group attacks the Academy.
Nax and three other washouts escapeโbarelyโbut theyโre also the sole witnesses to the biggest crime in the history of space colonization. And the perfect scapegoats.
On the run, Nax and his fellow failures plan to pull off a dangerous heist to spread the truth. Because they may not be โAcademy material,โ and they may not even get along, but theyโre the only ones left to step up and fight.
Full of high-stakes action, subversive humor, and underdogs becoming heroes, this YA sci-fi adventure is perfect for fans of Illuminae, Heart of Iron, or the cult classic TV show Firefly and is also a riviting thrill ride that anyoneโnot just space nerdsโcan enjoy.
