HIGHEST RANK: #46 IN SCIENCE FICTION, #1 IN SUPERSTITION ~ secrets are kept for a reason ~ They had lied to everyone. They had kept secrets and hid things from the people they were supposed to protect. They thought they were doing the right thing, they thought they could fix the world but instead they destroyed it. They were given a chance to start over, they bargained lives in return for survival. The government leaders ruined everything and now was time for them to pay. Colette didn't ask for this. She didn't ask for the nightmares or the lies or anything that came after that. She wanted a normal life -- a perfect life -- and she had that until things started going wrong. Until she noticed things she wasn't suppose to notice. Then, she became aware.

When Cassie finds her father crying in the dining room, she doesn't know what to think. Soon, she finds her brother, Mason, and herself trapped in a world where sending kids off to a completely different planet for three years to make the area "livable" for others is the norm and that there is no escape. If she doesn't succeed in preparing for the human race to inhabit the newly found planet, Planet X, all lives will be lost and blood will be on her hands. With the lead instructor of the Space Department dropping hints about the many deaths to come on the unknown planet, Cassie feels nervous and can't seem to stop worrying about her brother. Between the grueling training sessions, inedible meals, and flirtatious encounters with the player, Hendrik, Cassie's only reprieve is her friend Claud, a French boy who understands her like no one else. But, one thing leads to another and she finds herself in the middle of a tangle of lies and betrayal. They say her mission is to save the human race. The question is: Is Planet X the answer? - copyright©2016
