What's new on the shelf?
The first novel in an epic SCI-FI series has arrived at the IRC!
The 100 - Kass Morgan
"No one has set foot on Earth in centuries -- until now.
Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on spaceships far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents -- considered expandable by society -- are being sent on a dangerous mission: to recolonize the planet. It could be their second chance at life...or it could be a suicide mission.
CLARKE was arrested for treason, though she's haunted by the memory of what she really did. WELLS, the chancellor's son, came to Earth for the girl he loves -- but will she ever forgive him? Reckless BELLAMY fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister, the other half of the only pair of siblings in the universe. And GLASS managed to escape back onto the ship, only to find that life there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.
Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope."
'The 100' written by Kass Morgan is the first installment in an exciting dystopian series that will have readers on the edge of their seat from first page to last. Set in the far future, author Kass Morgan has created a vivid picture of a high tech society struggling to survive with limited resources, and where people are divided and controlled by strict social standings. Told from the perspective of four unique and fascinating characters, this is a story filled with fast paced action, heart pounding suspense and a great cliffhanger ending that will have readers eagerly wanting to read the next installment.
Part Hunger Games, part Lord of the Flies, 'The 100' is a great novel to start the series. Readers who enjoy dystopian or science fiction adventures with a touch of romance are certain to love this story and the wonderful characters that inhabit it. If you have watched the TV series make sure you try out the novels and see where the adventure first began.
All four novels in 'The 100' series are now available for borrowing from the IRC! Come in today for this and other exciting new books!
