Elena Martinez has street smarts, the ability for perfect recall, and a
|
||
|
|
deadline: if she doesn’t find a job before she turns eighteen, she’ll be
|
||
|
|
homeless. But then she gets an unexpected offer from Aether Corporation, the
|
||
|
|
powerful Los Angeles tech giant. Along with four other recruits—Adam, Chris,
|
||
|
|
Trent, and Zoe—Elena is being sent on a secret mission to bring back data from
|
||
|
|
the future. All they have to do is get Aether the information they need, and
|
||
|
|
the five of them will be set for life. It’s an offer Elena can’t refuse.</p>

<p>The basic plot is: A group of teens with special talents is chosen to go to
|
||
|
|
the future but something something and then they are happily ever after.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So... Yes, it's a time travel story, but it goes to the future instead of the
|
||
|
|
past, which is something new for me. And there is a plot twist in the end, but
|
||
|
|
it's not big. And the protagonists are teens and, even if it's explained why
|
||
|
|
(with a bunch of technobabble, that is)... meh. And their "talents" are not
|
||
|
|
that so important to the plot -- if they were some very clever adults, the
|
||
|
|
plot would still work the same.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But the writing is pretty damn good, even when it lags in the end and you feel
|
||
|
|
you can jump whole paragraphs without missing the story. But it's not
|
||
|
|
crumpled, and it's not full of useless descriptions.</p>
