Brendan Reichs
Book 3 of Project Nemesis
Now it gets weird. The class is surviving on "New Earth". But of course, not all is as it seems. We go from colonizers, to space ships, to AI, back to colonizers. Continually weird, and Reichs redeems the 2nd book with some creativity here. I kept thinking, how is he going to resolve all of this... and then he throws another complete left turn. In this conclusion, the Fire Lake group meets up with a Montana group and are again surprised by where they are and what they are a part of. What starts out as a continuation of the "Lord of the Flies" fight for domination transitions into an us-against-them fight for survival of humanity. We have been turned around so many times that even up until the end, we are not sure about what is real, and what is not (just like the characters). The series overall has some holes in it in terms of continuity (Sophia seems to take responsibility for some decisions that she can't really have been responsible for in the timeline), but they are minor to the overall plot and don't really break the experience.
3 stars (out of 4)
