Setting: Future on a faraway planet
First line/s: "Right after morning sessions end on Friday, the scavenger team brings a charred body into the safe zone."
My comments: A perfect YA Syfy, lots of suspense, creepy aliens, and hormonal teenagers (although the hormonal teenager stuff is pretty limited compared to everything else that's going on). This is one of those once-I-got-into-it-I-couldn't-put-it-down books. The main character, Jay, is a responsible, smart, well-liked young man who is the first to realize that something is not right ith the adults in his community. His community happens to be on another planet in another galaxy, but one on which humans can not only live and survive, but thrive. I highly recommend this thriller - suspenseful, otherworldly, and quite well written.
Goodreads synopsis: Promise City. That’s the colony I’ve been aiming for all my life on the planet Liberty. The only thing standing in my way? The Machine. On my eighteenth birthday, this mysterious, octopus-like device will scan my brain and Test my deeds. Good thing I’ve been focusing on being Jay Lawton, hard worker and rule follower, my whole life. Freedom is just beyond my fingertips.
Or so I thought. Two weeks before my Testing with the Machine, I’ve stumbled upon a new reality. The truth. In a single sleepless night, everything I thought I knew about the adults in our colony changes. And the only one who’s totally on my side is the clever, beautiful rebel, Peyton. Together we have to convince the others to sabotage their Testings before it’s too late.
Before the ceremonies are over and the hunting begins.
