"A richly imagined sci-fi adventure, perfect for animal lovers!" - New York Times bestselling author Melissa Landers

The only place sixteen-year-old Alaina can breathe is at work, caring for the animals in the ARK Program as they wait for their upcoming journey to Mars. She knows what it's like to feel caged, tamed by her mother's emotionally abusive boyfriend.

Her refuge unravels with a security breach, a rescue, and a knee-jerk reaction, in which she's caught on camera calling the animals she loves dangerous. Now, protesters are threatening the future of the program while Alaina is suspended from work and trapped at home. So when her boss offers her a chance to redeem the program's reputation by joining the mission herself, she jumps at the one-way ticket. Four months in space with only the animals and small crew is a welcome relief from the noise of Earth.

But everyone on board has a secret, and an animal rights extremist threatening the mission appears to have inside help. When false orders send the ship on a collision course, animals escape, lives are lost, and Alaina must decide where she stands with the program-and humans' responsibility to preserve animals that would kill us.

Equal parts heart, tension, and nerd, G.S. Harrington's genre-bending YA sci-fi debut explores our complicated relationship with animals-past, present, and one possible future.

Über den Autor
Author and editor G.S. Harrington is a firm believer in learning the rules so you can break them--which perhaps explains why her genre-bending YA sci-fi debut is a fiction-nonfiction hybrid that combines suspense, romance, and real animal science with a deeply emotional core. Her two oversized lapdogs and her background in working with horses flavor her writing with a love for animals and the outdoors. Raised in Germany, she now lives in New Mexico, USA, where much of the historical space-related animal research referenced in What We Have Tamed took place.
