For fans ofThe Maze RunnerandThe Fifth Wave, this debut YA novel from Hugo Award winner Will McIntosh pits four underprivileged teens against an evil billionaire in the race of a lifetime. No one knows where the brilliant-colored spheres came from. One day they were just there, hidden all over the earth like huge gemstones. Burn a pair and they make you a little better: an inch taller, skilled at math, better-looking. The rarer the sphere, the greater the improvement and the more expensive the sphere. Sully is a sphere dealer at a flea market. It doesn t pay much Alex Holliday s stores have muscled out most of the independent sellers but it helps him and his mom make the rent. When Sully meets Hunter, a girl with a natural talent for finding spheres, the two start searching together. One day they find a Gold a color no one has ever seen. There s no question the Gold is priceless, but what does it actually do? None of them is aware of it yet, but the fate of the world rests on this little golden orb. Because all the world fights over the spheres, but no one knows where they come from, what their powers are, or why they re here. PRAISE: Burning Midnight is for (1) adrenaline junkies and gamers, (2) obsessive collectors, and (3) people who can t get enough of crazy endings. I m all of these things, and I loved it. Margaret Stohl, New York Times bestselling author of Black Widow: Forever Red and coauthor of the internationally bestselling Beautiful Creatures series From the Hardcover edition."

Praise for Burning Midnight "Burning Midnight is for 1) adrenaline junkies and gamers 2) obsessive collectors 3) people who can't get enough of crazy endings. I'm all of these things, and I loved it." --Margaret Stohl, author of Marvel's Black Widow: Forever Red and co-author of the internationally bestselling Beautiful Creatures series Praise for Will McIntosh Winner of a Hugo Award for Best Short Story Nebula Award Finalist *"This is speculative fiction at its most personal and powerful, extrapolating current social and technological trends and exploring how they would affect future people. . . . Intriguing, quirky, perversely charming and definitely affecting." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) on Love Minus Eighty "[Love Minus Eighty] manages to deliver a light, romantic story without ever sacrificing its dark vision of the future." --i09.com "McIntosh is without a doubt one of the most underrated science fiction authors writing today. Defenders is an emotional, action-packed story. . . . McIntosh's cautionary near-future tale, told from multiple perspectives, serves as a brutally honest portrayal of how humans carelessly exploit, destroy-- and in this case create--other species." --RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) From the Hardcover edition.
