Avalon

For fans of Josh Whedon's cult classic television show Firefly comes a fascinating and fast-paced sci-fi thriller from author Mindee Arnett, which New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White calls "a heart-pounding, tense joyride of a novel." Jeth Seagrave and his crew have made their name stealing metatech: the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light. In a world where the agencies that patrol the outer edges of space are as corrupt as the crime bosses who control them, it's as much of a living as anyone can ask for. For years Jeth's managed to fly under the radar of the government that executed his parents for treason—but when he finds himself in possession of information that both the government and the crime bosses are willing to kill for, he's going to find there's no escaping his past anymore. With pulse-pounding action, a captivating mystery, and even a bit of romance, Avalon is the perfect read for hard-core sci-fi fans and non-sci-fi fans alike. What happens when a simple heist uncovers a secret so dangerous, it threatens to destroy Jeth and his entire crew? A High-Stakes Heist: Jeth and his crew are the best spaceship thieves in the galaxy, but their latest job stealing valuable metatech puts them on the radar of powerful enemies. A Found Family of Thieves: For this ragtag crew of teen outlaws, loyalty is everything. They live together, steal together, and would die for each other—and they just might have to. Corrupt Powers: In a galaxy where government agencies are as crooked as the crime bosses, Jeth must navigate a deadly game where trusting the wrong person means certain death. A Past That Won’t Stay Buried: Jeth has spent years running from the government that executed his parents for treason. But the secret he’s uncovered means there’s nowhere left to hide.
