In My Mailbox #16
The Story Siren hosts this feature and I end up adding a ton of books to my wishlist every week.
All my IMM posts can be found here!
On Wednesday I came home to find a slip from Purolator in my mailbox letting me know I had some sort of package to pick up. I had no idea what it could be, I was thrilled to discover on Thursday that it was a box of books for review from Little, Brown (via Hachette Book Group).
Atherton #1: The House of Powerby Patrick CarmanPaperback edtion
Edgar, a gifted climber, secretly scales the treacherous walls separating the three worlds of Atherton: the humble grove that is his home...a mysterious highland realm of untold beauty and sinister secrets ...and a vast wasteland below, where a monstrous danger lurks that could destroy them all.
While searching the forbidden cliffs for a treasure lost in his faded memory, Edgar discovers the first of many startling revelations to come: the three realms are beginning to collapse, turning his entire world inside out. Atherton is not what it seems, but something far more dangerous, with a history locked inside the mind of a madman and a future beyond Edgar's wildest imagining.
Atherton #2: Rivers of Fireby Patrick CarmanPaperback edition
The world of Atherton has collapsed and the three levels have become one. Humans and monsters, once separated by vast cliffs, now roam the surface of Atherton together. The inside of Atherton--where the most troubling secrets are hidden--has been breached. While Edgar embarks on a life-or-death quest to find Atherton's mad maker, his two friends, Samuel and Isabel, venture through dangerous underground realms, confronting deadly cave dwellers, rivers of fire, and waters of life.Atherton is not what it seems at all, but something far more dangerous, with a history locked inside the mind of a madman and a future beyond Edgar's wildest imagining.
Atherton #3: The Dark Planetby Patrick CarmanHardcover edition
When Edgar discovers a way to leave the mysterious satellite world of Atherton, he couldn't have imagined the gloom that awaited him on the dark planet, where the oceans are toxic, the forests are full of mutant monsters, and children toil in darkness, controlled by ruthless maniacs. Max Harding, an orphan of the Silo, the maker of Atherton, and the last hope of a dying world, left this place behind, and now Edgar is determined to complete the mad scientist's spectacular plan, revealing Atherton's true purpose.
Edgar's quest to discover Earth's dark secret leads to an out of this world adventure in the final book of the Atherton trilogy.
I was asked to review the final book in this series, and I am actually rather intrigued by the entire series and can't wait to start it (first I must finish the Fever series!). My husband actually seems interested in them as well. I wonder if I can get him to read them after I do? Hmm.
