'Avalon' (Avalon #1)
by Mindee Arnett
by Mindee Arnett
Length: 432 pages (hardcover)
Expected Publication: January 21st 2014
Publisher: Balzer & Bray
Of the various star systems that make up the Confederation, most lie thousands of light-years from First Earth-and out here, no one is free. The agencies that govern the Confederation are as corrupt as the crime bosses who patrol it, and power is held by anyone with enough greed and ruthlessness to claim it. That power is derived from one thing: metatech, the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light.
Jeth Seagrave and his crew of teenage mercenaries have survived in this world by stealing unsecured metatech, and they're damn good at it. Jeth doesn't care about the politics or the law; all he cares about is earning enough money to buy back his parents' ship, Avalon, from his crime-boss employer and getting himself and his sister, Lizzie, the heck out of Dodge. But when Jeth finds himself in possession of information that both the crime bosses and the government are willing to kill for, he is going to have to ask himself how far he'll go to get the freedom he's wanted for so long.
Avalon is the perfect fit for teens new to sci-fi as well as seasoned sci-fi readers looking for more books in the YA space-and a great match for fans of Joss Whedon's cult hit show Firefly.

Based off the synopsis, this sounds like a really intriguing new series. Cannot wait to get my hands on it since sci-fi is one of favorite YA genres. Comment below on your thoughts about 'Avalon' and link your WoW, if you participated this week.

The cover looks interesting although I have no idea what that thing is, some weird high tech animals or machine maybe. Sci-fi isn't my strong suit but I think I'll check this one out.
