These Brilliant Abandoned Scripts Are Getting a Second Chance
Say you’re a screenwriter with a brilliant idea. You write a script and shop it around. Everyone loves it, but through no fault of your own, you hit a snag. A budget disappears, a contract dispute flares up, and suddenly your high-concept idea gets shelved, then abandoned. All hope is lost, right?
Not if Adaptive Studios has anything to do with it. This imaginative publisher’s mission is to swoop in and save amazing stories by turning them into novels or other media.
And now Barnes & Noble is part of that rescue operation as well: we’ll offer a leading selection of Adaptive Studio’s books both in stores and online, starting this month with teen books Air, by Ryan Gattis, and The Silence of Six, by E.C. Myers.
Ships in 1-2 days.
Air is a thrilling and action-packed coming-of-age story about Grey, who witnesses the death of his mother and finds himself shipped off to live with an aunt in inner-city Baltimore. There he discovers a group of youths who use extreme sports as a form of protest and activism, going after an oppressive police force with death-defying stunts and then posting videos online. As the group becomes more and more popular and influential, everything Grey thinks he knows and believes in will be challenged.
The Silence of Six is a paranoid thriller about teen hacker Max Stein, who sees his best friend Evan commit suicide live on the internet. Evan’s last words were “What is the Silence of Six, and what are you going to do about it?” Following his friend’s death, Max finds himself thrust into a dangerous, confusing race to evade the sinister corporate forces chasing after him. As Max fives into the Dark Web and hacktivist groups in his desperate search for the truth about the Silence of Six, he has plenty of trouble just staying one step ahead of his pursuers.
