In the future, humans live in city-like spaceships orbiting
far above Earth’s toxic atmosphere. No
one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable
again. But faced with dwindling
resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim
their homeland…before it’s too late.
Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a
high-stakes mission to re-colonize Earth.
After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful
planet they’ve only seen form space.
Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form
a tentative community. But they’re
haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust – and even love – again.
3/5 stars (liked it)
This book is told from four points of view. Earth has been unlivable for nearly 300
years and there is a group of humans on a ship that is close to Earth. They decide to send 100 Juvenille criminals
in a shuttle to see if Earth is safe for them to return. Bellamy has a sister Octavia that is aboard
the shuttle and he does everything in his power to get on the ship to be there
to protect his sister. Glass is aboard
the ship but as a commotion occurs, caused by Bellamy she escapes the shuttle
and back into the ship. Clarke is also
aboard the shuttle as well as her ex-boyfriend Wells, whom did something in
order to be sent there with her. So the
story takes place on Earth with the 100, which turns to less because of the
shuttle crashing and other circumstances.
Also the food supply is low and they still don’t know how toxic Earth
really is. Glass is aboard the ship
still and has to hide. As the book
progresses we find out more about each character and what they did to be confined
(aka sent to prison). Also how the
society aboard the ship works and how there is an elite class, middle and lower
class and they live in different sections of the ship. The ending really made me want to read more
and I hope there is a sequel.
