Redemption Ark by Eilis O'Neal / Bloomsbury / AD: John Candell / Design: Paul Lycett.
Note: I jumped the gun on this cover!—Sadly, the publisher went with another designer before the cover was officially assigned—but, I did have some fun doing some preliminary concepts before the plug was pulled!
"Four teen criminals compete on an interactive reality show in space to win their freedom. Aboard the Redemption Ark—the intergalactic cruise ship hosting a hit reality show of the same name—you are no more than the crime you committed, unless you can prove to billions of voters across the galaxy that you deserve salvation. There are seven days until the Ark reaches the Vault: an ultra-high-security prison where the losing contestants will see out the rest of their sentences”.
