Lost meets The 100 in this action-packed YA science fiction
series-starter.
WE'RE ON OUR OWN NOW...
The year is 2221, and humans have colonized a planet called Thetis in
the Silver Foot Galaxy. After a tragic accident kills dozens of teenage
colonists, Thetis's leaders are desperate to repopulate. So Earth sends
the Mayflower 2--a state-of-the-art spaceship--across the universe to
bring 177 new homesteaders to the colony.
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.
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.
