Deeper

This sequel picks up where its predecessor Tunnels left off. A boy set out to find his missing father, and in the process discovers a strange world underground. As he tries to put together pieces of the plot of an apparently evil man named Styx, he has to save the world above ground.

Andrew: Yeah, I'm not sure if i should be reviewing this, because I didn't read the whole thing, but I read the first chapter and just couldn't get into the book. I hope someone else can, and that they can write a better review.

Origins

Origins is a book about two groups of differently interested people living in a bleak world. The Dogs are fond of Agriculture, and Cats hunting. At the same time, interspersed with chapters about a Cat named Nessa, a boy relates a strange tale in his journal about an alien creature. As Nessa sets off on a journey to find out more about the ancestry of Cats and Dogs, these two stories come together in an intriguing way.

Andrew here. I thought this book was extremely imaginative, and was certainly entertaining. Apparently it is the third book in a series, but from what I have heard, the other two weren't too interesting. From the bits and pieces I picked up about the other books, I got more than enough about how this book was begun. You don't even really need to read the first two. I give it a 10 out of 10.

The Resistance

The Resistance is the sequel to a book called The Declaration, and begins not too long after. The main character, Peter, is invited to take a job for a company that produces an immortality drug known as longevity by his grandfather, who owns the company. As a member of a resistance attempting to stop production of the drug, he is advised to accept the offer. While working there, he discovers that they have begin creating an enhanced version of Longevity, called Longevity+, and that in order to make it you need to harvest the main ingrediant from a very unethical source; people born after the creation of Longevity known as Surpluses.

Andrew: I think that this is a brilliant book, definitely worth the read, although it was a bit short and slightly predictible. I was surprised to realize halfway through that it was a sequel, and not a standalone. 9 out of 10.

Little Brother

This book is about a hacker kind of kid who is named Marcus. After a terrorist incident that he happened to be nearby, he was taken and hauled off by the Department of Homeland Security, where is is interrogated for days. When he is finally released, he finds that all but one of his friends, who were taken with him, had been released as well. To get back at the DHS for the humiliation and to find out what happend to his missing friend, he attempts to take them down.

Andrew: I thought this book was awesome, clever, and a little scary. I certainly wouldn't want what happend to him to happen to me. I give it a ten out of ten.

Morgan: This book was one of the best books that I have read. It was set in a realistic time and place and had some interesting ideas. I personally go to a hard-core urban high school with many security measures in place. I could definitly see how school systems could increase security to the level in this book. This book was very good! 10 out of 10
