** Release of Omega City By Diana Peterfreund *

Coming this April 28th, Diana’s first book for readers eight

and up is a thrilling adventure story, perfect for people who

like their books with a side of rocketships and hidden

treasure. Find out what secrets are hidden beneath the

Maryland countryside in…

Omega City

Gillian Seagret doesn’t listen to people who say her

father’s a crackpot. His conspiracy theories about the

lost technology of Cold War-era rocket scientist Dr.

Aloysius Underberg may have cost him his job and

forced the family to move to a cottage in the sticks,

but Gillian knows he’s right, and plans to prove it.

When she discovers a missing page from Dr.

Unerberg’s diary in her father’s mess of an office, she

thinks she’s found a big piece of the puzzle–a space-

themed riddle promising to lead to Dr. Underberg’s

greatest invention. Enlisting the help of her

skepticalyounger brother, Eric, her best friend, Savannah, and

Howard, their NASA-obsessed schoolmate, Gillian

sets off into the ruins of a vast doomsday bunker,

deep within the earth.

But they aren’t alone inside its dark and flooded halls.

Now Gillian and her friends must race to explore

OMEGA CITY and find the answers they need. For

while Gillian wants to save her dad’s reputation by

bringing Dr. Underberg’s secrets to light, there are

others who will stop at nothing to make sure they stay

buried…forever.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“With seamless writing, a thrilling plot, lots of engaging

science puzzles, and remarkable characterization,

Peterfreund's exciting tale keeps the adventure solidly in

the foreground. Young readers looking for a page turning

quest should get into this planned series on the ground

floor." — Booklist *Starred* Review
"Peterfreund's focus on character development is

complemented by the equal attention she gives to the

vast underground city itself. Gillian’s instincts to protect

her friends and clear her historian father’s tarnished

name are admirable, but Peterfreund gives every

character the opportunity to grow, revealing themselves

for who they really are."— Publishers Weekly
“With nonstop action, sly humor, and nothing short of the

end of the world at stake, Omega City is the alpha book

in a new series that mashes up mystery, scifi, and

action/adventure into a thrilling novel you’ll want to

devour in one sitting. I did, and I can’t wait to read what

comes next!” — Peter Lerangis, New York Times

Bestselling author of the Seven Wonders series
“Peterfreund’s boundless imagination takes on a new and

exciting adventure!” – Jessica Day George, New York

Times Bestselling author of Tuesdays at the Castle”

“Diana Peterfreund takes us to an underground city that’s

utterly mind-blowing, yet disturbingly possible. A

knockout of a story that will have readers cheering

straight through to the final, shocking, twist.” — #1 New

York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman
