This book, to me, is simply entertaining. I’ve come to the conclusion that I enjoy the way she handles the sci-fi genre immensely, but the characters can be hit or miss. That being said, I’m a huge fan of Illuminae and Gemina, so I was hoping for this book to decide my feelings about Amie Kaufman.

I did read the short prequel, and I enjoyed the characters, but it fell somewhat flat and I ultimately decided to read other books. I’m a huge fan of sci-fi books and especially Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, as I’ve read Illuminae – although written with a different co-author, Jay Kristoff – and from the Starbound trilogy, These Broken Stars and This Night So Dark. I enjoyed These Broken Stars, but it has been over two years, and obviously I didn’t feel compelled enough to read the other two in the trilogy. But the more they learn about the Undying, the more their presence in the temple seems to be part of a grand design that could spell the end of the human race… In order to penetrate the Undying temple and reach the tech and information hidden within, the two must decode the ancient race’s secrets and survive their traps. Mia and Jules’ different reasons for smuggling themselves onto Gaia put them immediately at odds, but after escaping a dangerous confrontation with other scavvers, they form a fragile alliance.

The Undying’s advanced technology has the potential to undo environmental damage and turn lives around, and Gaia, their former home planet, is a treasure trove waiting to be uncovered.įor Jules Addison and his fellow scholars, the discovery of an alien culture offers unprecedented opportunity for study… as long as scavengers like Amelia Radcliffe don’t loot everything first. Jules Addison and Amelia Radcliffe join forces in a tomb-raiding race on a newly discovered planet to unravel the secrets of an ancient, long- extinct civilization - only to uncover a revelation that could spell the end of the human race. The authors, who were willing to sell pre-publication because they are big fans of Liman, are repped by Stephen Moore of Paul Kohner Agency.When Earth intercepts a message from a long-extinct alien race, it seems like the solution the planet has been waiting for. Novel is a YA thriller described as Lara Croft Meets Indiana Jones, set in deep space.

Its written by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, the bestselling authors of These Broken Stars, This Shattered World, and Their Fractured Light. Cross Creek’s Tyler Thompson will produce. Unearthed is the first of a two-book series to be published next year by Disney’s Hyperion. This comes after the production company and Liman teamed on American Made, the Tom Cruise-starrer which Universal releases September 29, 2017. EXCLUSIVE: Cross Creek Pictures has acquired the upcoming sci-fi adventure novel Unearthed, and is plotting it for Doug Liman to develop as a directing vehicle.
