#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - For fans of The Hunger Games,
Divergent, and Red Rising comes a gripping sci-fi adventure in which
a group of teenagers wake up in a mysterious corridor with no knowledge
of who they are or how they got trapped. Their only hope lies with an
indomitable young woman who must lead them not only to answers but to
survival.
"I open my eyes to darkness. Total darkness. I hear my own breathing,
but nothing else. I lift my head . . . it thumps against something solid
and unmoving. There is a board right in front of my face. No, not a
board . . . a lid."
A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no
idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way
free brings little relief--she discovers only a room lined with caskets
and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a
corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people . . . and no answers.
She knows only one thing about herself--her name, M. Savage, which was
engraved on the foot of her coffin--yet she finds herself in charge. She
is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the
others trust her. Now, if they're to have any chance, she must get them
to trust one another.
Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. If
she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Maybe there's a way
out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers
to come. Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the
next turn.
Praise for Alive
"Suspenseful . . . [Alive] lives up to its hype, packing plenty of
thrills."--Entertainment Weekly
"Fascinating and intriguing . . . a cross between Lord of the Flies
and The Maze Runner and yet . . . so much more."--Fresh Fiction
"A ripping, claustrophobic thunderbolt of a novel, Scott Sigler's
Alive gives us an unforgettable young hero who must find the inner
strength to lead without knowing where she is, who she is, and how
bitterly the odds are stacked against her."--Pierce Brown, New York
Times bestselling author of Red Rising
"Sigler has created a wonderful and engrossing character in M. Savage.
Strong and smart, but with the naïveté and misgivings of any teenage
girl, she's someone you'll definitely want on your side when s***
hits the fan, which it most certainly does."--Veronica Belmont, host
of Sword & Laser
"A tense, unsettling page-turner of a story--both deeply strange and
wildly compelling."--Cherie Priest, author of Boneshaker and
Maplecroft

down to the last page."--Dr. Phil Plait, author of Bad Astronomy
