Eight hours to stop an explosion . . .

Eight hours to fall in love.

It's 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a lifeless rock into a chaotic patchwork of settlements. You can buy a one-way ticket to a new life - if you're rich.

Enter Hunter Graves: handsome, ambitious, and with spectacularly bad timing. He shows up unannounced at the United Nations base just as an emergency evacuation sends everyone scurrying for safety. And 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 is the jerk who might just help you survive, so here we are.

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.

A high-octane, high-chemistry, sci-fi adventure from the New York Times bestselling co-author of Illuminae and Aurora Rising.

Perfect for YA readers who love:

- Witty banter and explosive action

- Fast-paced plots with unexpected twists and turns

- An opposites attract odd couple who need each other to survive

- The Illuminae Files or the Aurora Cycle

Reviews for Red Star Rebels

'Red Star Rebels is a true page-turner, driven by life-and-death stakes and a steadily ticking clock. The budding romance between Hunter and Cleo heightens the tension, complicated by Cleo's secrets and the divides between their worlds. Kaufman's worldbuilding is rich and convincing, depicting life on Mars while subtly exploring humanity's trajectory under capitalism and the politics of interplanetary expansion ... Readers aged 12 and up who love romance and space adventures will be delighted by it.' Books + Publishing
