What do you stand for, when you’re one of the last left standing?

The year is 2072. Soon a volcanic eruption will trigger catastrophic devastation, and the only way out is up.

While the world’s leaders, scientists, and engineers oversee the frantic production of a space fleet meant to save humankind, their children are brought in for a weekend of touring the Lazarus, a high-tech prototype spaceship. But when the apocalypse arrives months ahead of schedule, First Daughter Leigh Chen and a handful of teens from the tour are the only ones to escape the planet.

This is the new world: a starship loaded with a catalog of human artifacts, a frozen menagerie of animal DNA, and fifty-three terrified survivors. From the panic arises a coalition of leaders, spearheaded by the pilot’s enigmatic daughter, Eli, who takes the wheel in their hunt for a habitable planet. But as isolation presses in, their uneasy peace begins to fracture. The struggle for control will mean the difference between survival and oblivion, and Leigh must decide whether to stand on the side of the mission or of her own humanity.

With aching poignancy and tense, heart-in-your-mouth action, this enthralling saga will stay with readers long after the final page.

Reviews:

“Redgate explores what makes us human and what makes us teens with excruciating precision, revealing the best―and worst―of both. A fast-paced, beautifully put together story of a girl getting it done.”―E. K. Johnston, New York Times #1 best-selling author of Star Wars: Ahsoka

“With its diverse cast of characters and near-future plot line, this book would make a good addition to collections with established audiences for science fiction stories and titles featuring strong examples of female empowerment.”―School Library Connection

“An enthralling adventure that’s at once intimate and cinematic, with heart-pounding twists and vividly drawn characters. Redgate’s gorgeous prose poses fascinating questions about the future.”―Romina Russell, author of the New York Times best-selling Zodiac series

“Stunning, visceral, and utterly gripping, Alone Out Here is a vivid look at human determination when forced to survive the impossible. Leigh Chen is a leader unlike any other as she navigates dwindling resources, betrayal, and the ultimate question of what it means to be human.”―C.B. Lee, author of the Sidekick Squad series

“Utterly absorbing, and packed with heart, action, and questions that lingered long past the final page. I read it in a single day.”―Amie Kaufman, author of the Aurora Cycle and the Elementals trilogy 

 

My Review

🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Absolutely Gripping! Scientists are in the process of getting a ship ready for the coming apocalypse. However, the destruction comes early and the only people on the ship are the kids of the leaders, scientist and engineers. A ship meant to hold thousands is now travelling in space with 53 very scared teenagers. When faced with their predicament will they figure out how to survive?

I was hooked from the very first page. We meet quite a few characters which is a bit confusing at times, but the main characters are well fleshed out. We get to watch the characters grow throughout the book which adds so much to the story. Redgate does an amazing job at bringing out feelings of desperation, hopelessness and the overall need for survival. The story flows beautifully and I had an extremely hard time putting it down at any given moment. The pacing was steady, fast where it needed to be and slow at the right moments. This is one of those books that you will be thinking about long after you've finished.

Huge thanks to Rock Star Book Tours, Disney-Hyperion and Riley Redgate for my gifted copy.
