A quick note from the author:
I’ve always dreamed of writing an epic sci-fi thriller. I knew I wanted it
to involve a group of teens leaving a dead Earth to start new lives on
a terra formed Mars, but I didn’t have any ideas on how to make the
plot exciting. Then, a song I never heard before played on my
Pandora app. Escape by Rogue. As that song blasted through
my headphones, the entire story that is Project Emergence
streamed through my mind like a movie trailer. So, I went
straight to work. It took months of frantic writing, almost a
year of editing, and a mini rewrite, but that moment of
inspiration became my first YA novel.
