Year 2522: Lyra Daniels is dead. Okay, so I only died for sixty-six seconds. But when I came back to life, I got a brand new name and a snazzy new uniform. Go me! Seriously, though, it's very important that Lyra Daniels stays dead, at least as far as my ex-friend Jarren, the murdering looter, knows.

While dying is the scariest thing that's happened to me, it morphed my worming skills. I can manipulate the Q-net like never before. But Jarren has blocked us from communicating with the rest of the galaxy and now they believe we've gone silent, like Planet Xinji (where silent really means dead).

A Protector Class spaceship is coming to our rescue, but we still have to survive almost two years before they arrive - if they arrive at all. Until then, we have to figure out how to stop an unstoppable alien threat. And it's only a matter of time before Jarren learns I'm not dead and returns to finish what he started.

There's no way I'm going to let Jarren win. Instead, I'll do whatever it takes to save the people I love. But even I'm running out of ideas...

Imagina un mundo en el que una organización les avisa a las personas la inminencia de su muerte. Imagina que comenzó la cuenta regresiva. Imagina cómo vivirías tu vida... en solo un día. ¿Estarías listo para decir adiós?

Al final mueren los dos es un canto a la fuerza arrolladora de la vida, que transformará para siempre tu forma de comprender el tiempo, la amistad y el amor. En un presente alternativo, donde es posible predecir la muerte con un plazo de veinticuatro horas, Mateo Torrez y Rufus Emeterio acaban de recibir la llamada más temida: la misma que te avisa de que ha llegado tu hora final.

En circunstancias normales, es poco probable que Mateo y Rufus se hubieran conocido. Pero sus circunstancias no son normales en absoluto. Porque les quedan, a lo sumo, veinticuatro horas de vida. Y han decidido recurrir a Último Amigo, la aplicación de citas que te permite contactar con alguien dispuesto a compartir tu carga. Mateo y Rufus tienen un día, puede que menos, para disfrutar de su recién nacida amistad. Para descubrir cuán frágiles y preciosos son los hilos que nos unen. Para mostrar al mundo su verdadero yo.

Adam Silvera reminds us that there’s no life without death and no love without loss in this devastating yet uplifting story about two people whose lives change over the course of one unforgettable day.

On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.

Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... there was a princess who became a legend. Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She's taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control.

But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren't acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire.

And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice; dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan—including the man she loves—or the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero.

Two boys – a slow learner stuck in the body of a teenage giant and a tiny Einstein in leg braces – forge a unique friendship when they pair up to create one formidable human force. A wonderful story of triumph over imperfection, shame, and loss.
