The story: Six teens, stranded in the Kalahari desert, must fight to stay alive, to avoid the poachers who killed Sarah's Bushman friend Theo, and stay clear of the freakish silver lion that seems to be stalking them. But even as they draw closer to a stunning answer to their questions, they're just as far as ever from being rescued. The secrets of the Corpus company may just die with them.
June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG-13; violence PG-13; Sexual content PG; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; adult themes (death of a parent, corporate evil-doing) PG-13; overall rating PG-13.
Liz's comments: I read this one because I'd just finished Khoury's "The Forbidden Wish" and really liked it. This was completely different, but I thought this one was really good, too. And strangely, I didn't realize it was the third in the Corpus series (after "Origin" and "Vitro") until I started this review--it totally stands alone. Even though the main character is a girl, I think boys would like this book too: there's plenty of adventure, shooting, running and hiding, and lots of weird sci-fi type science.
