First line/s: "It was well past midnight when Sari woke to the alarm blaring through the White House."
My comments: Thirteen colonies were transported to different parts of the solar system when living on earth came to a cataclysmic end. In The Thirteenth Continuum, the first in a trilogy about what happens 1000 later to two of those colonies - one at the bottom of the sea and one flying around in outer space, we meet the teenage protagonist from each continuum. There was a startling difference between "good" people and incredibly evil people in each of the colonies, with not too much in between. No insight into why life-changing laws were introduced, which was troubling. Maybe in the next book? Certainly kept my attention.
Goodreads synopsis: One thousand years after a cataclysmic event leaves humanity on the brink of extinction, the survivors take refuge in continuums designed to sustain the human race until repopulation of Earth becomes possible. Against this backdrop, a group of young friends in the underwater Thirteenth Continuum dream about life outside their totalitarian existence, an idea that has been outlawed for centuries. When a shocking discovery turns the dream into a reality, they must decide if they will risk their own extinction to experience something no one has for generations, the Surface.
