After a tragic accident kills dozens of teenage colonists, Thetis's leaders are desperate to repopulate. So Earth sends the <i>Mayflower 2</i>--a state-of-the-art spaceship--across the universe to bring 177 new homesteaders to the colony. <p/> For Jonah Lincoln, an orphaned teen who has bounced between foster homes and spent time on the streets of Cleveland, the move to Thetis is a chance to reinvent himself, to be strong and independent and brave, the way he could never be on Earth. But his dreams go up in smoke when their ship crash-lands, killing half the passengers and leaving the rest stranded--not on Thetis, but on its cruel and unpopulated moon, Achilles. <p/> Between its bloodthirsty alien life forms and its distance from their intended location, Achilles is a harrowing landing place. When all of the adult survivors suddenly disappear, leaving the teenage passengers to fend for themselves, Jonah doubts they'll survive at all, much less reach Thetis--especially when it appears Achilles isn't as uninhabited as they were led to believe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A compelling cast of supporting characters keeps the pages moving. An action-packed second and third act will keep readers engrossed until the end of this sci-fi survivalist series starter. --Booklist<br>
