No one has set foot on Earth in centuries -- until now. Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on
spaceships far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred
juvenile delinquents -- considered expendable by society -- are
being sent on a dangerous mission: to recolonize the planet. It
could be their second chance at life . . . or it could be a suicide
mission.
CLARKE was arrested for treason, though she's haunted by the memory
of what she really did. WELLS, the chancellor's son, came to Earth
for the girl he loves -- but will she ever forgive him? Reckless
BELLAMY fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister,
the other half of the only pair of siblings in the universe. And
GLASS managed to escape back onto the ship, only to find that life
there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.
Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their
pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to
be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope. pub date: 2013-09-03 | hardcover | 9780316234474 |
