After a devastating atomic war, the surviving remnants of humanity live on spaceships, far from the radiation-contaminated surface of the earth. And now a hundred troubled teenagers, whom society had previously written off as expenses, are sent to Earth on a dangerous mission: to re-colonize the planet. This task could be a chance for a new life for them, or it could be a death sentence. “As you watch teenagers struggle to survive and try to create a new civilization from a devastated land, you experience the same intense excitement as reading Lord of the Flies.” (Publishers Weekly) "Dark and exciting... A cross between Lord of the Flies, Across the Universe and The Hunger Games." (Booklist) “The plot is at the intersection of the television reality show “Lost” and traditional science fiction. Morgan so skillfully interweaves elements of pop culture with reflections on the future of humanity that the result is a book that you won’t be able to put down.” (School Library Journal)
