When her brother contracts a plague, she knows her janitor's salary isn't enough to fund his treatment. So she volunteers to become a Scela, a mechanically enhanced soldier sworn to protect and serve the governing body of the Fleet, the collective of starships they call home. If Aisha can survive the harrowing modifications and earn an elite place in the Scela ranks, she may be able to save her brother.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Key Tanaka awakens in a Scela body with only hazy memories of her life before. She knows she's from the privileged end of the Fleet, but she has no recollection of why she chose to give up a life of luxury to become a hulking cyborg soldier. If she can make it through the training, she might have a shot at recovering her missing past.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In a unit of new recruits vying for top placement, Aisha's and Key's paths collide, and the two must learn to work together--a tall order for girls from opposite ends of the Fleet. But a rebellion is stirring, pitting those who yearn for independence from the Fleet against a government struggling to maintian unity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With violence brewing and dark secrets surfacing, Aisha and Key find themselves questioning their loyalties. They will have to put aside their differences, though, if they want to keep humanity from tearing itself apart. \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003ePaste\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"\u003cb\u003eFilled with badass girls and epic adventures\u003c\/b\u003e...this one's guaranteed to take you on a ride.\"--\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuzzfeed\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eA captivating sci-fi adventure\u003c\/b\u003e that will make you fall madly for Skrutskie's fabulous writing, if you haven't already. \u003cb\u003e[Perfect] for fans of: Cindy Pon \u003ci\u003e(Want\u003c\/i\u003e) and Pierce Brown (\u003ci\u003eRed Rising\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e).\"-\u003ci\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaste\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003cb\u003eA book you will devour in one sitting\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHullmetal Girls\u003c\/i\u003e is not to be missed!\"--\u003cb\u003eBeth Revis\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eA World Without You\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAcross the Universe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHullmetal Girls\u003c\/i\u003e has everything I love\u003c\/b\u003e in a space opera: deep faith, high stakes, endless questions about humanity, and a cast that shows the best (and less-best) of what we might become.\" -\u003cb\u003eE.K.
