The stranded
£7.99
Welcome to the Arcadia. Once a luxurious cruise ship, it became a refugee camp after being driven from Europe by an apocalyptic war. Now it floats near the coastline of the Federated States – a leftover piece of a fractured USA. For 40 years, residents of the Arcadia have been prohibited from making landfall. It is a world of extreme haves and have nots, gangs and make-shift shelters. Esther is a loyal citizen, working flat-out to have the rare chance to live a normal life as a medic on dry land. Ben is a rebel, planning something big to liberate the Arcadia once and for all. When events throw them both together, their lives, and the lives of everyone on the ship, will change forever.
‘Gorgeously written . . . immediately hooks the reader from the early pages (the world-building is fantastic).’ Independent
Welcome to the Arcadia.
Once a luxurious cruise ship, now it is home to the stranded. For forty years, they have lived, and died, on the water.
A place of extreme haves and have-nots, gangs and make-shift shelters, its people are tyrannized by a country they can see but can’t get to. A country that says it doesn’t want them.
Esther is a loyal citizen, working flat-out for a rare chance to live a life on land. Nik is a rebel, intent on liberating the Arcadia once and for all.
Together, they will change the future . . .
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE STRANDED:
‘A pacy, gripping read that plunges you into this near-future dystopia from the first page.’
‘A real page-turner, with relatable characters and lots of twists and turns . . . if you loved Station Eleven this will be right up your street’
‘This is honestly one of the best action centred books I’ve read in a while! Think Titanic meets The Hunger Games!.’
