Rhiannon Bird: Unnatural Selection, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Sixty kidnapped orphans. Deadly tests. Not everyone will survive.

Nineteen-year-old Nic Mariano has been trying (a little unsuccessfully) to keep his life from jumping off the tracks. After getting fired, he signs up for a research study to make some money. When he turns up for the interview, he is knocked out and wakes up in a strange facility with 59 other kidnapped orphans. There is no contact with the outside world and the facility is filled with robots that they have never seen.

Their captors-a mysterious billionaire couple-force them to complete dangerous tests which push them to their limits. Tests filled with deadly robotic creatures, blood and desperation.

Nic makes fast friends who he tries to protect. Then there's also Lance, pretty and intriguing but also surly and standoffish.

As the orphans' numbers begin to dwindle and the death toll continues to rise, danger lurks not only in the vicious tests but also in the other orphans as well. They might not be able to survive without getting blood on their hands. If they can even walk away with their lives.

The Maze Runner meets Whisper in this fast-paced Australian Upper YA sci-fi filled with action, friendship and slow-burn queer romance. For fans of action-packed stories and sweet romance.
