About this listen

 “A high-octane thriller . . . Nyxia grabs you from the first line and never lets go.” —Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Warcross

Every life has a price in this sci-fi thriller—the first in a trilogy—that has the nonstop action of The Maze Runner and the high-stakes space setting of Illuminae.

What would you be willing to risk for a lifetime of fortune?
Emmett Atwater isn’t just leaving Detroit; he’s leaving Earth. Why the Babel Corporation recruited him is a mystery, but the number of zeroes on their contract has him boarding their lightship and hoping to return to Earth with enough money to take care of his family.

Forever.

Before long, Emmett discovers that he is one of ten recruits, all of whom have troubled pasts and are a long way from home. Now each recruit must earn the right to travel down to the planet of Eden—a planet that Babel has kept hidden—where they will mine a substance called Nyxia that has quietly become the most valuable material in the universe.

But Babel’s ship is full of secrets. And Emmett will face the ultimate choice: win the fortune at any cost, or find a way to fight that won’t forever compromise what it means to be human.

“The 100 meets Illuminae in this high-octane sci-fi thriller.” —Bustle

What the critics say

"Fans of the 'Hunger Games' and the 'Maze Runner' series will enjoy this series opener." —SLJ

"Both curious and suspicious at every turn, [Emmett] is an ideal narrator, and a sequel can’t come soon enough." —The Bulletin

"Emmett’s self-deprecation, wit, and ability to see the good in others will keep readers riveted and eager for the next volume in this planned trilogy." —PW

"Nyxia seems to have a mind of its own, but its mystery will carry over into the sequel, which cannot come soon enough." —VOYA

This was gripping from the first few minutes. Great story, amazing narration. Can’t wait to dive into the second.

Gripping.

I feel deceived. How could this carcass of a cliche, done before story, get published? If you took Ender's Game, which this book shamelessly tries to copy, and removed plot, any notable characters, all original ideas and all other elements of good story telling you would still have 100 times the story than this thing. I am cancelling my membership because I feel I was ripped off by spending my credit on this. Unbelievable.

Awful, this should not have been published.
