Titanic meets Aliens in this tense YA science fiction horror series by #1 New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston.
Celeste knows every inch of this ship. She's proud of her work as apprentice engineer. And as the maiden voyage of the Titan launches, she's optimistic for the promises of this new journey from Earth to Mars — this new life.
Dominic arrives at his suite where his valet is busy unpacking his things. His chest is tight, already feeling anxious inside his dad's precious new ship. Once it launches, he's trapped, inside the ship and inside the life his father has chosen for him — a life that will leave his dreams of art school behind.
Discovered under melted ice caps, ancient aliens have been brought onto the Titan as well, and stored in display cases for the entertainment of the passengers . . . until an act of sabotage releases them into the ship, with zero discrimination for class, decks or human life . . .
My Review:
I had such a blast reading this book! I love E.K. Johnston's writing, and this book sounded really good, so I knew I was going to enjoy it! The whole idea of a luxury space cruise that unveils aliens, but that it turns out the aliens aren't dead, and start to take over the ship? It sounded so good!
Celeste and Dominic's lives might have had a similar starting point, being affected by the same tragedy of a fault line opening up, but while she had to continue to live there, he was adopted by a rich couple in politics. (While I loved the mention of my home province, Alberta, I did not like her being the politician representing us, since she was an awful human being.) That she is now a worker on the voyage that he's a passenger on, I really enjoyed those dynamics! She's resourceful and a hard worker, and he's struggling under the weight of his parents expectations.
Watching as they tried to survive the aliens, was thrilling and so very entertaining! The aliens were so creepy, and the in between chapter pages that we got from the alien's perspective...chilling. I was tense the whole time reading this book, I had to know what was going to happen next!
This book is technically a stand alone right now, there's no series mentioned on Goodreads that I can find right now. But at the end, the way it ends, and that in acknowledgements, it mentions that ending is a series potential, and I really, really hope that it becomes a series, because I need to know what these characters are going to do, given the circumstances that they're in!

Loved reading this book, it was so fantastic, and I can't wait to read more by E.K. Johnston!
