THE ENDING THOUGH!! The ending saved Unearthed for me. the plot was just much of the same stuff-interesting stuff, but repetitive. In fact, there were actually several points that were re-explained, though I almost wonder if that will be corrected in the final copy.
Much of the book felt like the same stuff over and over again. I think because it felt a bit forced/cheesy/eh at the beginning so I lost my taste for it even by the end. I did like both of the main characters, so that was a plus. The bulk of Unearthed was only so-so for me, which was pretty disappointing given how much I lusted after this book at BookExpo. But the more they learn about the Undying, the more their presence in the temple seems to be part of a grand design that could spell the end of the human race. In order to penetrate the Undying temple and reach the tech and information hidden within, the two must decode the ancient race's secrets and survive their traps. Mia and Jules' different reasons for smuggling themselves onto Gaia put them immediately at odds, but after escaping a dangerous confrontation with other scavvers, they form a fragile alliance. as long as scavengers like Amelia Radcliffe don't loot everything first. The Undying's advanced technology has the potential to undo environmental damage and turn lives around, and Gaia, their former home planet, is a treasure trove waiting to be uncovered.įor Jules Addison and his fellow scholars, the discovery of an alien culture offers unprecedented opportunity for study. When Earth intercepts a message from a long-extinct alien race, it seems like the solution the planet has been waiting for. Published by: Disney Hyperion on January 9, 2018 There’s just open desert on either side of the canyon, and I’m screwed.Unearthed by Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner Not surprising, given that something about Gaia’s two suns gives off a flare every generation like clockwork and nukes the whole planet. 
The scans scientists took from orbit didn’t show so much as a microbe. There aren’t even any plants on this lifeless world, no shrubs for cover or trees to hide in. This isn’t like the ruins of Chicago, full of sewer tunnels and half-collapsed skyscrapers, with infinite places to hide and move around unseen. But studying the topographic surveys and satellite images of Gaia’s surface didn’t prepare me for just how barren this landscape is. “No one will ever even see me down there.” Because if I were home, if I were scavenging a city on Earth, that would be true. “I don’t need a gun,” I’d scoffed, not bothering to add that I wouldn’t know what to do with one anyway. At the time, it felt good to surprise the Contractor-to make her eyebrows shoot up underneath her bangs and stay there. You we r e r ight, Mink, I should’ve taken that gun.
