8 HOURS TO STOP AN EXPLOSION...8 HOURS TO FALL IN LOVE.
From the New York Times bestselling co-author of Illuminae and Aurora Rising comes a high-stakes, high-chemistry, sci-fi romp about a stowaway girl and the richest boy in the galaxy, racing the clock to outwit a gang of mercenaries.
It's 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a lifeless rock into a chaotic patch of settlements. You can buy a one-way ticket to a new life--if you're rich.
Enter Hunter Graves, the handsome, ambitious grandson of the man who settled Mars. With spectacularly bad timing, Hunter arrives at the United Nations base just as an emergency evacuation sends everyone scurrying for safety. Except he's left behind. Uh-oh.
Also stranded: Cleo, a sharp-tonged stowaway with no intention of dying today, and even less patience for overconfident trust fund boys. But the enemy of your enemy might just help you survive, so here we are.
It turns out the evacuation is just a cover for the mercenaries who come next, and the plan to blow up the base--and every trace of their crime--in eight hours.
Now, Hunter and Cleo have one shot to stop the explosion, escape alive, and deal with the inconvenient fact that they're falling for each other.
The clock is ticking.

loved this one. fast paced and a fantastic story. Amie has done it again!
A quick sci-fi read. Loved the graphic audio aspect of this, and loved that it was them against the clock the whole time. It was a unique premise over all, and the twists were predictable at times, but still really engaging. Solid listen!3/5
I wondered how could they fall in love in such short time, but when it’s the right person, under the right circumstances, well, I guess it is possible! Loved the characters and the way their personalities and skills complemented each other so well! Definitely a good short read.
I've loved everything I've read from Amie Kaufman so far so I was super excited to read this YA sci-fi story! It definitely lived up to my expectation, and I was just so happy to be back in space.Red Star Rebels was a super fast-paced novel even though the story only consists of 8 hours, so there was no time for wasted prose or boring filler. I loved the main characters and how different they are and their interactions with each other were great. The romance itself was very quick to unfold since the timeline is so short, but it was still very sweet.This was a super fun and exciting story and I can't wait for whatever else Amie Kaufman has coming
This was so good. Will-read-it-again good. It’s way too short. I’m devastated that it’s over. But there’s going to be a sequel, right? RIGHT?!?I love Amie Kaufman’s space adventures. They never fail to keep me entertained and so wholeheartedly obsessed. I hope she’ll write more.I love Cleo’s sass and big brains. I am in love with Hunter’s gentle charisma and his desire to be honorable. I really wish there’s going to be a sequel. I want more adventures with these two. And I would love to see them in their lover’s era. What can I say? I love love.I ADORE this book. I stayed up late finishing it and every second was worth it. I already miss Cleo and Hunter. I guess I’ll just read it again…
