Unearthed by Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner

4.0

When Mia lands on Gaia, her only thoughts are what can she scavenge from this Alien planet in order to give her and her sister a new life, she has no regard to the welcoming message sent to Earth from the alien race the Undying and it's implications. Jules Addison on the other hand, has come solely to figure out the truth hidden in the layers of the Undying broadcast, secretly warning of destruction.

They make an unlikely pair when they team up, Chicago scavenger meets Oxford water polo player but ultimately it's both of their skills which get them past the tests and traps laid in the Undying temples to get to the truth of what is waiting for humankind.

It's a fun romp to read, Indiana Jones in space with young adults essentially.

SpoilerSurely it wasn't really a shock to anyone that the Undying were actually humans? My guess is the ship that supposedly vanished did some time travel chicanery to come back to the past to steal back Earth. Watch this space.
