Synopsis:
Emmett Atwater is just a poor kid plucked from the streets of Detroit.
But now he and nine teenagers like him are travelling to a distant planet aboard the Babel corporation's lightship.
Before they get there, they are told, two of them will be eliminated.
The eight who make it will land on an alien world, where they will hunt for Nyxia, the most extraordinary substance in the universe.
But first Emmett must endure frightening tests, rivalry with his fellow chosen ones and the fear that Babel aren't telling the truth.
Because if Babel aren't, they'll be trapped, light years from home.
And all alone . . .
Review:
I listened to the audiobook for this and the narrator was excellent. Definitely added another level to the story for me. My best friend who read this just before me described it as Hunger Games in space and I must admit there was definitely that feel to it. I liked that we got to know just enough about the supporting characters to care about them and want to know more. It engaged me more than I expected and I am looking forward to the sequel.

I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
