Qualify – The Atlantis Grail Book 1

Gwen Lark must compete against other Earth teens in order to Qualify for interplanetary rescue from an asteroid apocalypse, save everyone she loves, and impress her arrogant commanding officer.

The Atlantis Grail has been optioned for development as a feature film series and/or TV series.

You have two options. You die, or you Qualify.

The year is 2047. An extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and the descendants of ancient Atlantis have returned from the stars in their silver ships to offer humanity help.

But there’s a catch.

They can only take a tiny percent of the Earth’s population back to the colony planet Atlantis. And in order to be chosen, you must be a teen, you must be bright, talented, and athletic, and you must Qualify.

Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is determined not only to Qualify but to rescue her entire family.

Because there’s a loophole.

If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you are in the Top Ten, then all your wildest wishes are granted… Such as curing your mother’s cancer.

There is only one problem.

Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While she’s a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest she’s come to sports is a backyard pool and a skateboard.

This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition—including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she’s been crushing on, and who doesn’t seem to know she exists.

Because every other teen on Earth has the same idea.

You Qualify or you die.

Fans of the tv show The 100 and the series The Hunger Games are in for a ride with this cross-genre YA dystopian scifi series! It reads just like a movie and I can totally see why this series has been optioned for film production. It has everything! From romance to scifi to action and space opera.

So, why did these books grip me to the point of re-reading them endlessly and obsessively waiting for the next book in the series? Unquestionably, Ms. Nazarian has an incredible talent for creating a story filled with moments of quick, creative brilliance, plot twists that I did not see coming, and a story that draws you in with every new development.

I love the series so much that I’ve read them a total of 21 times, not counting the re-reads between releases. I also love them so much that I have gotten two (and have several more planned) tattoos referencing them. If you haven’t read this book or this series, you’re missing out. Do it. You’ll fall head over heels in love.
