I received an advanced reading copy of this book.
Think Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft/Ripley and you will begin to love Unearthed before you have even begun!
This is a space adventure like no other. Mia is a Scavenger, searching other planets for tech that can get her money. Jules is a scholar who goes to Gaia in search of proof. What they both soon discover is that they need each other to save themselves and the everyone they love.
The Undying left a message - this is the location Mia targets. Encoded in that message was another message - this is the path that Jules follows and in doing so takes Mia along for the ride. These teenagers decode message after message, escaping all sorts of traps left in their paths. At the same time they are running from another group of smugglers, trying to stay ahead of that group and staying alive because they learn something that no-one else knows...
This is an excellent read for kids 12+ who love adventure stories, especially ones where death lurks around every corner! Unearthed is also great for fans of Science Fiction, but mostly for adventure. Mia and Jules will become heroes to our next generation.
Well done to Amie and Meagan who have spawned the next great series for our older kids and YA fans. I can see this one fast becoming a favourite of young and old alike. I am especially looking forward to listening to the kids asking 'When is book 2 coming?' because I guarantee that when you get to the end of Unearthed you will want more!

I wasn't expecting a lot from this book but I wanted something with adventure and difficult puzzles, this had some adventure though there were only a few puzzle solving moments. There was more teenage romance angst anything else, though I was expecting that. The plot was way predictable and more than once the thought of "this is why teenagers wouldn't be trusted to do these kinds of things" crossed my mind more than once. It was ok, but towards the end I found myself skimming more than I thought I would.

This is a fun young adult sci fi adventure.
I really liked the two narrators and the two differing viewpoints of the characters.
The story is a bit... simple, but that's comparing it to full Sci-Fi Epics, which: this is not trying to be. It's not trying to be Dune, it's trying to be a fun adventure. Which it is. It's really quick moving. The characters are interesting and smart.
I liked it enough that I'll probably be getting the second one very soon.

A mid-tier sci-fi adventure that has its moments of bliss, but has far too many moments of dread.
Wow, this is a great YA science fiction and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s set on another world and while there are alien temples and alien suns and not quite enough oxygen meaning characters are forced to use breathers to ensure they have enough oxygen to stay alive… it is also a story of very human issues… greed, criminal behavior and a fight for survival.
It is written with two very different Points Of View. Amelia’s POV and Jules’s POV alternate every chapter but continue the story along in a rapid pace of betrayal, puzzles to solve, lies and secrets exposed while they race to be the first to discover the treasures the “Unending” left behind.
But is it a trap or a test? What they find is completely unexpected. They are being hunted by soldiers and scavvers and only by working together will they survive the obstacle course/maze of bobby traps left behind. Its almost as if the Unending don’t want them to reach the end alive.
A fabulous, well written sci-fi story for young and old alike. It’s a little bit Indiana Jones in space. A fun, fast paced story. There is a book two and I’m gonna have to get it now to see how it ends.

I was excited about this book because of the author, but its just not all that. The plot is predictable and I never really got engaged with it. The characters are boring, unlikable and dull. Not my favorite.
