Proxy by Alex London |
“Put down what you’re doing and read this book. Right now. The
complex characters, intricate world, and blistering pace are off-the-charts
amazing.” — Marie Lu, author of the Legend trilogy
Syd’s
life is not his own. As a proxy he must to pay for someone else's crimes. When
his patron Knox crashes a car and kills someone, Syd is branded and sentenced
to death. The boys realize the only way to beat the system is to save each
other so they flee. The ensuing cross-country chase will uncover a secret
society of rebels, test the boys' resolve, and shine a blinding light onto a
world of those who owe and those who pay.
This fast-paced thrill ride
of a novel is full of breakneck action, shocking twists and heart-hammering
suspense that will have readers gasping until the very last page.
“Looking for an
awesome YA summer read? Look no further than Alex London’s Proxy.” — EW.com
“[A] smart, stylish
science-fiction thriller that deftly weaves big issues like guilt, accidents of
birth, redemption and commerce into a page-turning read… Whipping Boy + Blade Runner with a sprinkling of The Hunger Games (plus,
of course, a dash of A Tale of Two Cities)
= a treat for teen SF fans.” — Kirkus Reviews
"Not only is "Proxy" an edge-of-your-seat
literary thrill ride, it's an important and groundbreaking novel as well. Knox
and Syd redefine the concept of loyalty and friendship. London has crafted a true tour de
force." — Matt
de la Pena, author of "Mexican White Boy"
