And Kenzie might have to team up with her captors to survive - all while beginning to suspect there’s a darker side to the Omnistellar she knows. Yet it soon becomes clear that her mother is more concerned with sticking to Omnistellar protocol than she is with getting Kenzie out safely.Īs Kenzie forms her own plan to escape, she doesn’t realize there’s a more sinister threat looming, something ancient and evil that has clawed its way into Sanctuary from the vacuum of space. As a junior guard, she’s excited to prove herself to her company - and that means sacrificing anything that won’t propel her forward.īut then a routine drill goes sideways and Kenzie is taken hostage by rioting prisoners. At first, she’s confident her commanding officer - who also happens to be her mother - will stop at nothing to secure her freedom. Kenzie holds one truth above all: the company is everything.Īs a citizen of Omnistellar Concepts, the most powerful corporation in the solar system, Kenzie has trained her entire life for one goal: to become an elite guard on Sanctuary, Omnistellar’s space prison for superpowered teens too dangerous for Earth.
The sequel Containment is set to be released next August. Recently I started reading Caryn Lix’s Sanctuary, which reads like Aliens set on a space prison, and have been enjoying it so far. But, like any other subgenre, there’s plenty of interesting work to be found if you look hard enough. I know more than a few readers who avoid YA altogether. It reminds me of the urban fantasy/paranormal romance trend of a decade ago, when it seemed that half the books on the shelves featured superpowered vampire killers who were dating werewolves. The runaway success of Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and the Percy Jackson novels has generated a glut of books, most of which are fantasy or SF series. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that we’re living in a YA golden age.
