The Final Six #1

When Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, and Naomi, a science genius from California, are two of the twenty-four teenagers drafted into the International Space Training Camp, their lives are forever changed. Overnight, they become global celebrities in competition for one of the six slots to travel to Europa—Jupiter’s moon—and build a new home for humankind. After countless floods, earthquakes, and erratic climate change, Earth has become a deadly place to live. The fate of the population rests on the shoulders of the final six who will be scouting the new territory. For Leo, the last surviving member of his family who were killed in a tidal wave, the purpose of the mission is a reason to go on. Naomi, however, is suspicious of the ISTC and the fact that their previous mission, the Athena, failed under mysterious circumstances, killing everyone onboard. As the ISTC gets more and more secretive, Naomi’s fear grows over what could be awaiting the final six on Europa. In this competitive atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from around the world who would stop at nothing to make it to the final six, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. As the training tests their limits, Naomi and Leo’s relationship deepens with each mind-boggling experience they encounter. But it’s only when the finalists become fewer and their destinies grow nearer that the two can fathom the full weight of everything at stake: the world, the stars, and their lives.
