Free Choice/Sci-fi: The 100 1
So I'm not really sure about this one. It hasn't been on my Amazon list
for all that long, which is usually how I find out more about books. I
cruise the list, see what's on there, make a couple of attempts to get
it online or at the library over months or years and accumulate
information in the process. What I do know is that it sounds like a kind
of cross between the typical YA adventure and Ender's Game meets Wall-E
type sci-fi. 100 juvenile delinquents are sent to recolonize Earth
after it was abandoned. From the summary style, the book will probably
switch perspectives, maybe in first person, maybe in third, between
several of the adventurers, including one who managed to sneak back onto
the ship before being sent to Earth. I'm wondering what kind of nasty
secrets she'll uncover- after all, the fugitive can sometimes get
top-secret information because no one expects them to be where they
are.Is it going to be one of those (again, Wall-E) plot lines where they
all went into space purely because a company persuaded them to do so?
Or was it some collective decision of society? And how could they trust
the delinquents to report truthfully and complete their mission? Hard to
tell, but we shall see.
