The end is coming. What would you do? The first in a fast-paced and
gripping YA dystopian series for anyone who's ever felt like their
life--their world--is on the brink of destruction.
Like most high school seniors, Alexandra Lucas is caught between living
in the moment and an unknown future. Her anxiety disorder doesn't make
that any easier. But she's coping--until her train stops on the way home
from a concert with her boyfriend. At first, she's worried about
breaking curfew. Then terror echoes through their train car.
A mysterious doorway has appeared beside the tracks, and a hologram
claiming to be a human from the future shares a sinister warning. A
comet is on a collision course with earth. All life there will end in
six months' time. To survive, people must step through one of the many
portals that have opened around the world.
The holograms claim to offer safety. But how can anyone be sure? Stay or
go--everyone must make their own choice. Alex's family, her friends, her
boyfriend all have different ideas. Alex is only sure of one thing: she
wants to decide for herself. But every decision comes at a price.
