For Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, it's the purpose he needs after losing his family in a deadly flood. But Naomi, an Iranian-American science genius, is suspicious of the fact that a similar mission fatally failed under mysterious circumstances. She fears something equally sinister awaits the Final Six beneath Earth's surface. With competition mounting between the contestants for the final six slots, Naomi and Leo form an unexpected friendship.

"One of the many books that I’m starting to read that’s out of my comfort zone. This was such a great read. I enjoyed the scientific background nerd talk in this book. There was a little bit of romance involved, secrets, & betrayals. It was dragging a little bit in the middle but it was worth the read! I recommend this esp if you’re into space & world disaster. It puts a lot of things in perspective!"
"I loved the book because this is just my type of book and I was so enthusiastic to learn that there was a sequel. It is a thriller, teen romance, drama, and enticing book to read."

"I read this book and it’s sequel and thoroughly enjoyed them both. The way the perspective switches every chapter can be daunting for some people, and it was for me at first, but it just means that you get all the benefits of first person writing and none of the negatives. While it’s not my favorite book, it’s definitely amazing. Although you should expect a little bit of romance that goes physical rather than just emotional. In any case, it’s near perfect and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves space, romance, or the hunger games. "
"A great book! The firs tone to get me hooked and back into reading since going to school. Love the plot, the twists and turns, the surprises, and overall an excellent book!"
