Blurb: A gripping, near-future thriller – The Hunger Games meets Station Eleven, for fans of pacey, disruptive TV, such as the Noughts and Crosses adaptation
Welcome to the Arcadia.
Once a luxurious cruise ship, it became a refugee camp after being driven from Europe by an apocalyptic war. Now it floats near the coastline of the Federated States – a leftover piece of a fractured USA.
For forty years, residents of the Arcadia have been prohibited from making landfall. It is a world of extreme haves and have nots, gangs and make-shift shelters.
Esther is a loyal citizen, working flat-out to have the rare chance to live a normal life as a medic on dry land. Ben is a rebel, planning something big to liberate the Arcadia once and for all.
When events throw them both together, their lives, and the lives of everyone on the ship, will change forever . . .
About the author: Sarah Daniels is an ex-archaeologist who escaped academia and now writes stories from her home in rural Lincolnshire. This is her first novel and part of a duology.
I am just over halfway through this, and it is a brilliant read. Different. Thrilling. Fast paced. Exciting. I will be posting my review soon, so keep your eyes peeled. Thriller/suspense/youngadults/science fiction.
