OLDER FICTION

The Living

(3) YA Shy Espinoza's summer job on Paradise Cruise Lines is, literally, a disaster. A series of catastrophes befalls the cruise and eventually threatens civilization as he knows it; Shy finds himself on a life raft in the Pacific Ocean with a racist "spoiled-ass blond chick." Readers wanting a fast-paced survival story with plenty of action won't mind the over-the-top plot.
