Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1)

Author: Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

Genre: YA Science Fiction/Dystopia

Release Date: October 20, 2015

Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers

Description:

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.
 

This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
 

The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

But pursuit by battleship is the least of their worries. Their fleet’s artificial intelligence—which should be protecting them—may actually be an enemy. And a plague is slowly ravaging the fleet with terrifying consequences. As Kady plunges into a web of data hacking in search of the truth, she realizes that there’s only one boy who can help her bring everything to light . . . and of course, it’s her ex-boyfriend, Ezra.

Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—ILLUMINAE is a ground-breaking, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that will draw teen and adult readers of James Dashner, Rick Yancey, and Veronica Roth yet stands on its own with Kaufman and Kristoff’s unique storytelling.

« “…a stylistically mesmerizing tale, where story and art are interchangeable, and words act as pictures.

The more experimental sections may require extra effort on readers’ parts, but the result is worth it.”

—Publishers Weekly, starred review

« “Ambitious, heartbreaking, and out-of-this-world awesome.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“An exuberant mix of space opera, romance, zombies, hackers, and political thrills, told with eccentric aplomb. 

ILLUMINAE is both the weirdest and most heartfelt thing you'll read this year. ”

—Scott Westerfeld, author of Uglies and Zeroes

The Salvaged Web Show Tour: Episode + Giveaway

 

Welcome to my stop on the Salvaged Web Show Tour! Today I have episode #3 for you to watch and don't forget to scroll to the bottom to enter the giveaway! To follow along with the rest of the tour, click on the tour banner!

Synopsis: 

Attie Reed, has survived the car accident that killed her mother and close friend, Melody Bennett. When Attie moves in with the Bennett family for the summer, she is forced to face the demons of her past, an unknown future, and growing feelings for Melody’s brother, Riley.

How the series came to be:

My production company is developing a possible television/DVD or web stream drama series. In order to approach networks, distributors and investors, we needed to create a pilot/proof of concept reel.

In May, we shot for five days in Los Angeles and created a 40 minute pilot. While the project is being shopped around, we also decided to release the pilot as a web series. We believe it introduces viewers to the characters and story and we hope to build an audience in advance of a possible full series being produced.

The web series covers approximately the first seven chapters of the novel.

The Book It’s All Based On:

Salvaged

Author: Stefne Miller

Description:

‘My body was being torn apart, and my stomach felt as if it exploded. The pain was excruciating, and I was aware that I was dying… ‘Mom?’ My vision was murky, but I could see her face. It was bloody, and her eyes were large and full of fear. Her voice calmed. ‘Get out of the car, Attie.’ Her words sounded crisp and clear. I looked into the backseat in search of Melody and found her lying covered in blood in a twisted heap on the floor. I turned my attention back to my mother and out of the corner of my eye saw fire. ‘Get out, Attie!’ ‘Mom?’ Everything went dark.’ Attie Reed should have died in the wreck that stole the lives of her mother and best friend. But her life was spared. Why? When Attie moves to Oklahoma to stay with the Bennetts for the summer, she hopes she has left her nightmares behind. But her battle is far from over, and Riley Bennett steps forward to help her fight the nighttime monsters. As the battle wears on, Riley begins fighting monsters of his own: his feelings for Attie. And Attie realizes she must begin to face the monsters of the night herself if she wants to conquer them for good. Can Attie’s life be Salvaged?
