She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little relief--she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people . . . and no answers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She knows only one thing about herself--her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin--yet she finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her. Now, if they're to have any chance, she must get them to trust one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. If she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Maybe there's a way out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers to come. Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the next turn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eAlive\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Suspenseful . . .  \u003ci\u003eAlive\u003c\/i\u003e] lives up to its hype, packing plenty of thrills.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Fascinating and intriguing . . . a cross between \u003ci\u003eLord of the Flies\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Maze Runner\u003c\/i\u003e and yet . . . so much more.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e--Fresh Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A ripping, claustrophobic thunderbolt of a novel, Scott Sigler's \u003ci\u003eAlive\u003c\/i\u003e gives us an unforgettable young hero who must find the inner strength to lead without knowing where she is, who she is, and how bitterly the odds are stacked against her.\"\u003cb\u003e--Pierce Brown, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eRed Rising\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Sigler has created a wonderful and engrossing character in M.
