The Fallout

The end is coming. What would you do? The first in a fast-paced and gripping YA dystopian series for anyone who's ever felt like their life—their world—is on the brink of destruction. Like most high school seniors, Alexandra Lucas is caught between living in the moment and an unknown future. Her anxiety disorder doesn't make that any easier. But she's coping—until her train stops on the way home from a concert with her boyfriend. At first, she's worried about breaking curfew. Then terror echoes through their train car. A mysterious doorway has appeared beside the tracks, and a hologram claiming to be a human from the future shares a sinister warning. A comet is on a collision course with earth. All life there will end in six months' time. To survive, people must step through one of the many portals that have opened around the world. The holograms claim to offer safety. But how can anyone be sure? Stay or go—everyone must make their own choice. Alex's family, her friends, her boyfriend all have different ideas. Alex is only sure of one thing: she wants to decide for herself. But every decision comes at a price. Finalist for the Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Award Winner of the PEN New England Susan P.

The Warning

Als sich Portale am Himmel öffnen und Hologramme das nahende Ende der Welt durch einen herabstürzenden Kometen verkünden, ändert sich Alex' Leben schlagartig. Die Hologramme sagen, dass der einzige Weg zum Überleben durch die Portale und damit gleichzeitig in die Zukunft führt - doch es gibt keine Garantie dafür, dass das die Wahrheit ist. Die Gesellschaft spaltet sich in zwei Lager: Die, die die Erde verlassen, und die, die bleiben wollen. Auch Alex' Eltern gehören zu den Zweiflern. Als schließlich Anarchie und Chaos ausbrechen, fliehen Alex' beste Freundin Rita und ihr Freund Dominik durch die Portale. Alex hat nicht mehr viel Zeit, um sich zu entscheiden: Familie oder Freunde, Wahrheit oder Lüge, Leben oder Tod?
