From the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of
Wool and the Molly Fyde saga comes a story of teenage colonists
marooned on a distant planet
WE WOKE IN FIRE
Five hundred colonists have been sent across the stars to settle an
alien planet. Vat-grown in a dream-like state, they are educated through
simulations by an artificial intelligence and should awaken at thirty
years old, fully-trained, and ready to tame the new world.
But fifteen years in, an explosion on their vessel kills most of the
homesteaders and destroys the majority of their supplies. Worse yet, the
sixty that awaken and escape the flames are only half-taught and possess
the skills least useful for survival.
Naked and terrified, the teens stumble from their fiery baptism
ill-prepared for the unfamiliar and harsh alien world around them.
Though they attempt to work with the colony A.I. to build a home,
tension and misery are rampant, escalating into battles for dominance.
Soon they find that their worst enemy isn't the hostile environment, the
A.I., or the blast that nearly killed them. Their greatest danger is
each other.
