Project Nemesis is in Phase 2 and Fire Lake is in utter chaos. The 64 students saved from the destruction of the world have all gone berserk. After learning that only a set number will survive and be able to proceed to Phase 3 the students split into groups and commence in all out war. The rules are unknown. The consequences are deadly. The outcome is a mystery and only one person knows that the true purpose of Project Nemesis is, the Guardian, and he isn't telling anyone.
This book is an all out bloodbath, as the instinct to survive takes ahold of the students. Kill or be killed becomes the mentality and they will stop at nothing to make sure they are one of the ones allowed to continue to Phase 3. Humanity seems to have disappeared from the lives of these blood thirsty teens, at least that is how it seems. Some have retained their humanity and cannot conceieve how their world has fallen so far into the pit of dispair.
This book does a great job of showing the darker side of humanity, along with the moral code that is instilled in us all. We see this world from two different perspectives. Noah Livingston, a boy who has been betrayed or left behind by everyone in his life, takes the Program for what it is worth and tries to force his way to the top of the food chain. Min Wilder despises the Program and everything she represents, will she have to abandon her humanity to survive in this world?
The book did drag in a few spots, and some parts seemed to redundant; however, it was s thoroughly engaging read. You really feel like this is how society would react in a situation like this, despite wanting to believe the best in people. I can't wait to see the final chapter of this story next year.
