THE ATLANTIS GRAIL has been optioned for development as a feature film series and/or TV series.
You have two options. You die, or you Qualify.
The year is 2047. An extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and the descendants of ancient Atlantis have returned from the stars in their silver ships to offer humanity help.
But there's a catch.
They can only take a tiny percent of the Earth's population back to the colony planet Atlantis. And in order to be chosen, you must be a teen, you must be bright, talented, and athletic, and you must Qualify.
Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is determined not only to Qualify but to rescue her entire family.
Because there's a loophole.
If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you are in the Top Ten, then all your wildest wishes are granted... Such as curing your mother's cancer.
There is only one problem.
Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While she's a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest she's come to sports is a backyard pool and a skateboard.
This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition--including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she's been crushing on, and who doesn't seem to know she exists.
Because every other teen on Earth has the same idea.
You Qualify or you die.
Klantrecensies
My favourite YA book (I mean it)
The plot is original and exciting. The author has managed to mix the perfect blend of history, scifi, romance and dare I say a little fantasy? into the mix and it’s AWESOME. The relationships between the characters are well worked out and developed at a realistic pace. I love Gwen, I love Laronda, I love Kass. All the characters in the story. (Ok, so obviously I like Claudia a little less...) I really look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
Meeslepend verhaal, geweldige personages
De personages zijn geweldig neergezet, het verhaal is origineel en verrassend met een flinke scheut romantiek.
Het jaar is 2047 en de aarde wordt over 15 maanden door een asteroïde getroffen. Afstammelingen van de oude Atlantiërs komen van een andere planeet te hulp en zeggen een klein percentage van de bevolking te kunnen redden, jongeren tussen de 12 en 19 jaar kunnen zich kwalificeren.
Gwen Lark is de hoofdpersoon zij en haar broers en zus doen er alles aan om zich te kwalificeren, welke keuzes moet je maken om te overleven?
