Red Star Rebels

by Amie Kaufman • 2026

It’s 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a lifeless rock into a chaotic patch of settlements--equal parts national pride, and corporate power grab. Enter Hunter Graves: handsome, ambitious, and with spectacularly bad timing. He shows up at the United Nations base just as an emergency evacuation sends everyone scurrying for safety. Except he's left behind. Uh oh. Also stranded: Cleo, a sharp-tongued stowaway with no intention of dying today, and even less patience for overconfident trust fund boys. But the enemy of your enemy might just help you survive, so here we are. Turns out the evacuation was just a cover for the mercenaries who came next, and the plan to blow up the base--and every trace of their crime--in eight hours. Now, Hunter and Cleo have one shot to stop the explosion, escape alive, and deal with the inconvenient fact that they're falling for each other. The clock is ticking.
