Remnants #3

Well I really enjoyed the book! I especially liked the plot line. It was really liked the part when they were exploring the new land. I thought that was just great. The way that they looked around, and almost got killed was really funny. But I thought that it was a little odd the way the author wrote about the simplicity of the Adventure. They were exploring like the native Americans did, and the settlers along with that. I didn't think that she used her imagination. Other than that I thought that the book was great. Some people died, and it w2as magnificent! I gave this book the good star rating because it was a riveting part of the ongoing saga of the Mayflower Project! A wonderful addition to the already amazing series of books!

I guess so

To me, it deserves 5 stars, but to some other readers it may be just horribly horrible. The plot is extremely confusing and the reader may just stop wanting to read the book once they're into the first chapter. However, to those who find it interesting, they may want to keep reading because of all the unexpectble things that always seem to happen to the people who are the last members of the human race. All I want to know is what will become of those people, and how Applegate will conclude the series.

The thrilling third book in the Remnants series.

On a strange and mysterious world light years from home, the refugees of a destroyed Earth need to work together to survive, but instead find themselves divided by fear and hostility. They started out as the Eighty, put into hibernation on a shuttle fired blindly into space just before the end of the world in 2011. But a five hundred year voyage through space has cut their numbers by more than half, and some of those that survived have been changed by the journey in frightening ways. Jobs, Mo'Steel, his mother Olga, Violet Blake, and Billy Weir have been cast out of the main group of survivors. They have discovered that the world they landed on is in fact an artificial environment created on board an alien ship, an environment populated by some of the most sadistic creatures every imagined by a human being. They must also content with viscous aliens. Have they survived Earth's destruction only to perish in this hostile world? I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoyed the first two books in the Remnants series.
