Discover the wild sci-fi world of THE RIFT UPRISING with Amy S. Foster!
Being a teenager is hard enough without being a secret, cybernetic super-soldier, so The Rift Uprising‘s Ryn doesn’t have it easy. By day, she fights threats that attempt to enter Earth through a doorway to the multiverse. At night, she goes home, watches Netflix on the couch, and lies to her family about how her day at school went.
The first of a trilogy, The Rift Uprising is a YA/New Adult adventure set in an alternate near-future with thrills, romance, sci-fi elements, and not an ounce of predictability. Yes, our review is coming soon!
While we were at New York Comic Con, we had a chance to sit down with author Amy S. Foster in the HarperCollins booth and chat all about the book, workshopping the language with her daughter’s friends, how songwriting (she’s Michael Bublé’s writing partner, people!) affects her novel style, and more!
The Rift Uprising is out now! Order it via Amazon.
Seventeen-year-old Ryn Whittaker is a Citadel: an elite, enhanced soldier specially chosen to guard a Rift, a mysterious and dangerous portal to alternate Earths scientists cannot control or close. Trained from the age of fourteen, Ryn can run faster, jump farther, and fight better than a Navy SEAL—which is good when you’re not sure if a laser-wielding Neanderthal or an axe-wielding Viking is trying to make it through the Rift and into her world.
But the teenager’s military conditioning and education have not prepared her for the boy who crosses through—a confused young man, seemingly lost and alone. Because while there’s an immediate physical attraction, it’s his intelligence and curiosity that throws Ryn off balance. The stranger asks disturbing questions about the Rift that Ryn herself has never considered—questions that lead her to wonder if everything about her life and what she’s been told these past six years has been a lie. Are the Rifts as dangerous as her leaders say? Should her people really try to close them . . . or learn how to travel through them?
