For fans of Josh Whedon's cult classic television show Firefly comes a fascinating and fast-paced sci-fi thriller from author Mindee Arnett, which New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White calls "a heart-pounding, tense joyride of a novel."
Jeth Seagrave and his crew have made their name stealing metatech: the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light. In a world where the agencies that patrol the outer edges of space are as corrupt as the crime bosses who control them, it's as much of a living as anyone can ask for. For years Jeth's managed to fly under the radar of the government that executed his parents for treason but when he finds himself in possession of information that both the government and the crime bosses are willing to kill for, he's going to find there's no escaping his past anymore.
With pulse-pounding action, a captivating mystery, and even a bit of romance, Avalon is the perfect read for hard-core sci-fi fans and non-sci-fi fans alike.
What happens when a simple heist uncovers a secret so dangerous, it threatens to destroy Jeth and his entire crew?
A High-Stakes Heist: Jeth and his crew are the best spaceship thieves in the galaxy, but their latest job stealing valuable metatech puts them on the radar of powerful enemies.
A Found Family of Thieves: For this ragtag crew of teen outlaws, loyalty is everything. They live together, steal together, and would die for each other and they just might have to.
Corrupt Powers: In a galaxy where government agencies are as crooked as the crime bosses, Jeth must navigate a deadly game where trusting the wrong person means certain death.
A Past That Won't Stay Buried: Jeth has spent years running from the government that executed his parents for treason. But the secret he's uncovered means there's nowhere left to hide.

Jeth Seagrave and his crew of mercenaries are pulled into one last high-stakes mission in this breathtaking sequel to Mindee Arnett’s Avalon, which SLJ called, in a starred review, “an exciting piece of science fiction that keeps up its energy from beginning to end.”
Jeth Seagrave and his crew are on the run. The ITA, still holding Jeth’s mother in a remote research lab, is now intent on acquiring the metatech secrets Jeth’s sister Cora carries inside her DNA, and Jeth is desperate to find the resources he needs to rescue his mother and start a new life outside the Confederation. But the ITA is just as desperate, and Jeth soon finds himself pursued by a mysterious figure hell-bent on capturing him and his crew—dead or alive.
With nowhere to run and only one play left, Jeth enters into a bargain with the last person he ever thought he’d see again: Daxton Price, the galaxy’s newest and most fearsome crime lord. Dax promises to help Jeth, but his help will only come at a price—a price that could mean sacrificing everything Jeth has fought for until now.
