Description
In a post-apocalyptic world controlled by alien invaders, two teens and a young girl with mysterious powers embark on a dangerous journey. What they find will change everything...
Earth has been conquered. An extraterrestrial race known as The Assembly has abducted the adult population, leaving the planet’s youth to fend for themselves. In this treacherous landscape, Holt, a bounty hunter, is transporting his prisoner Mira when they discover Zoey, a young girl with powerful abilities who could be the key to stopping The Assembly. As they make their way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, the trio must contend with freedom fighters, mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and perhaps most perilous of all: Holt and Mira’s growing attraction to each other.
Midnight City is the breathtaking first novel in the Conquered Earth series, and a stunning work of imagination from debut author J. Barton Mitchell.
Advance Praise
"Mitchell’s prose debut, the first in a dystopian sci-fantasy series, is an
imaginative mix of danger and humor...The action will keep readers turning the
pages."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Midnight City hooked me right
from the moment Holt first tries to capture Mira and takes her prisoner only to
realize he's dealing with a girl who's got some serious survival skills. The two
characters are complete equals, more than any other fictional co-star team I've
read and yet they're enemies. I knew exactly what would happen with Mira and
Holt's instant chemistry and yet, I had to read on just to watch this amazing,
action packed journey, both emotional and physical, unfold."
—Julie Cross,
international bestselling author of Tempest
“I have succumbed to
Midnight City! Just like Holt, who fights to liberate a conquered Earth,
I now see that great things can happen. After all, J. Barton Mitchell wrote
this novel. I have hope of another. As soon as possible.”
—Nancy Holder,
New York Times bestselling author of the Wicked Saga
“When the
adults mysteriously disappear, who will save the day after earth is conquered by
aliens? In J. Barton Mitchell’s riveting post apocalyptic tale, the kids are the
last line of defense. Centered around engaging (and conflicted) characters,
Midnight City hurtles you into a story teeming with frightening monsters,
bizarre techno-magic and edge-of-your-seat action. “
—Jana Oliver,
award-winning author of The Demon Trapper’s Daughter
