Annie Berger at Sourcebooks Fire has bought Laura Pohl's The Last 8, a YA sci-fi duology about a young Latina pilot who finds herself grounded and alone after a devastating alien attack, but finds hope in an unlikely group of survivors who aren't what they seem. Publication for the first book is scheduled for 2019, with the sequel due in 2020; Sarah LaPolla at Bradford Literary Agency brokered the two-book deal for world English rights.
