Now each recruit must earn the right to travel down to the planet of Eden-a planet that Babel has kept hidden-where they will mine a substance called Nyxia that has quietly become the most. In the Nyxia Triad series finale, Emmett and the Genesis team must join forces with a surprising set of allies if they're ever to make it home alive.

The diverse cast, issues dealt with, and fast plot keep the reader hooked and interested throughout.Brilliant concept meets stellar execution in this fast-paced deep space adventure. This fresh challenge alongside action-packed chapters alleviates some of the cliche nature of writing something like The Hunger Games. This greedy fight stems from each of their poverty and individual need for the money, from sick parents to an inability to pay the bills to just wanting to escape their current living situation. While Collins and others imposed a corrupt government or cynical villains on the protagonist, Reintgan hurls a new idea into the sphere as these kids try to fight for money. Reintgan’s book Nyxia is much like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins however, where Reintgan succeeds is in the themes conquered during this first novel. This is the first book in the series, and without giving too much away, much more is at stake than money: their very lives are in danger if they fail to perform during the challenges on the spaceship. However, the mood quickly shifts as these disadvantaged teens with complicated home lives realize that not all of them will receive the prize at the end of the ride. Each teen enters the Genesis 11 with the understanding they will receive a large lump sum from the company Babel for completing the mission: mining nyxia from the planet Eden. Follow Emmett Atwater as he ships off into space with nine other teens, expecting a cash prize at the end of the long journey.
