Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
“Any Sign of Life is a heartbreaking story filled with courage, friendship, and personality. Paige Miller is the perfect team-up buddy in an apocalypse. I was with her when she lost everything, and stood right next to her when she took it all back.”—Wesley Chu, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the War Arts Saga
“A timely update to classic postapocalyptic YA.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A smart, suspenseful thriller. Totally un-put-down-able.”—Kirkus Reviews
When a teenage girl thinks she may be the only person left alive in her town—maybe in the whole world—she must rely on hope, trust, and her own resilience. A harrowing and pulse-pounding survival story from New York Times–bestselling author Rae Carson. Any Sign of Life is a must-have for readers of Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave and Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman’s Dry.
Paige Miller is determined to take her basketball team to the state championship, maybe even beyond. But as March Madness heats up, Paige falls deathly ill. Days later, she wakes up attached to an IV and learns that the whole world has perished. Everyone she loves, and all of her dreams for the future—they’re gone.
But Paige is a warrior. She pushes through her fear and her grief and gets through each day scrounging for food, for shelter, for safety. As she struggles with her new reality, Paige learns that the apocalypse did not happen by accident. And that there are worse things than being alone.
New York Times–bestselling author Rae Carson tells a contemporary and all-too-realistic story about surviving against the odds in this near-future thriller. Any Sign of Life will electrify fans of Rory Power’s Wilder Girls and Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven.

“It was hard to get into the book at first, but the writing gets better after the first few chapters. It’s good for an easy ya/teen dystopian read. It follows the main character Paige navigating and surviving a fallen earth with other survivors, until the true threat is revealed (without giving too much away). All of the characters had individual charm and you’re routing for all of them, even if you get second hand embarrassment sometimes. I wish that the novel had almost kept the anonymity or stayed along the path of an extremely deadly virus, but I still enjoyed the book as an easy dystopian read after a very long semester of university readings.”Theweirdreader

“Muy interesante, cuando lo compré nunca pensé que tuviera que ver con Aliens pero fue una agradable sorpresa, se describen de una manera muy única y específica, lo cual me gustó, el personaje principal es fuerte pero también se muestra su debilidad lo cual me gusta, se muestra la vulnerabilidad de todos, hay una relación romántica que es muy sutil pero muy agradable, se presenta de una buena forma porque el libro no se trata de eso entonces los pequeños momentos en que se menciona son buenos y refrescantes, los personajes son interesantes y complejos. Me hubiera gustado saber más sobre los aliens y su propósito, tal vez que lograran comunicarse con ellos, y en cuanto al final, es un poco abrupto y el no saber que va a pasar es un poco estresante pero también se presenta una idea muy interesante de empezar de cero la humanidad lo cual me gustó”Aimen Awan
