The Final Six is a young adult space thriller inspired endless curiosity with what lies beyond. It centers on an American-Iranian girl and an Italian boy, who never would have met if not for an urgent planetary mission, and who fall in love even as the universe threatens them apart. But there is more to the story engine than an epic romance and space adventure. At its core, it’s about the failing planet we’re leaving our future generations, and how the youth from all over the world will have to rise up and set aside their differences to save it—and save each other.
