Book Description:
Tate and his father don’t exactly get along. As Tate sees it, his father has unreasonably high expectations for Tate to be the best—at everything. Tate finally learns what he’s being prepared for when he steals one of his dad’s odd tech inventions and mercenaries ambush the school, killing his father in the process and sending Tate on the run from aliens who look just like humans.
Even with all he knows like how to defend himself with useful tools made out of bubblegum, Tate fears he’s still inadequate. With the help of his girlfriend and estranged mother, all Tate can really do is keep moving and ensure his father’s invention stays out of the hands of his pursuers and that his father didn’t die in vain. A riveting, fast-paced adventure, Scan is a clever alien thriller with muscle and heart.

Walter Jury was born in London, has a background in the film industry, is a big fan of the New York Giants, and is an enthusiast of Jamba Juice’s Protein Berry Workout smoothie only with soy, never whey. Scan is his first book for teens. Oh, and under his real name, he’s a producer of one of 2014’s biggest blockbusters. Let’s just say he “diverges” in his career from film to literature quite well.
..useful tools made out of bubblegum? eh? hahah
ReplyDeleteWow...that cover. My eyes have exploded. That world...is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe bubblegum idea is kind of...strange, but sci-fi leans towards the strange and unexpectedly odd :D
I just love this cover! I think it's perfect for a sci-fi book too. I don't think I've come across Walter Jury before, but I've enjoyed Sarah Fine's writing in the past. I can't wait to read this! :)
ReplyDeleteThis one looks really good!! I'm very into sci-fi books lately (haven't been before Across the Universe and I love that!). Will definitely have to put this on my wishlist. Thanks for sharing:)
