Description
The Million by Karl Schroeder In a world where ten billion visitors descend upon Earth every thirty years, the remaining months are ruled by the elite, known as the Million. These inheritors and custodians of humanity's wealth and history lead lives of unimaginable privilege and wealth, but at what cost? For Gavin Penn-of-Chaffee, an illegal child living among the Million, survival depends on maintaining a secret identity. When his adoptive family is torn apart, Gavin must impersonate a dead boy to stay alive. But this new identity comes with its own set of dangers, as he's expected to attend the School of Auditors, the feared police force tasked with capturing outcasts like himself. With his disguise and wits on the line, Gavin must navigate the stronghold of those threatened by his very existence in order to solve a murder that could put him at the top of their list. A gripping tale of survival and deception, The Million is a thought-provoking exploration of class, privilege, and identity.
