"Salvage is the book I've been waiting for--kick-ass, brilliant, feminist science fiction. Watch out, world. Alexandra Duncan has arrived." -- Stephanie Perkins, internationally bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door"Alexandra Duncan's debut illustrates a richly detailed world that vividly shows a possible future of Earth where society has both regressed and progressed, where the struggles of humanity have become more dire, but where love still remains. Everything--from the world to the characters--felt viscerally real. Original and memorable." -- Beth Revis, author of the nationally best-selling Across the Universe"Epic in scope and intimate in execution, Salvage is an astonishing debut. Duncan expertly crafts a story of the journey to claim oneself across the infinite expanses of both space and the human heart." -- Kiersten White, author of the New York Times best-selling Paranormalcy trilogy"Alexandra Duncan is a stunning new voice. Duncan's magnificently flawed future world exposes humanity . . . in ways that are ripe for discussion. . . . Ava's personal journey from oppression to self-actualization--by turns harrowing and heartbreaking, but ultimately triumphant--will keep readers glued to the pages. Highly recommended." -- Rae Carson, author of the best-selling Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy"Duncan makes an excellent debut . . . A powerfully immersive story that uses its far-future SF premise to thoughtfully explore gender politics." -- Publishers Weekly"Debut author Alexandra Duncan portrays a patriarchal civilization eerily reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale....Duncan's fast-paced narrative and original settings--from the Parastrata to the Gyre (a floating garbage mass in the Pacific) to Mumbai--will keep readers riveted." -- Shelf Awareness for Readers
