Summary: getting better...
Review: (-)@m$ta again...this story is placed in the year 2511, which doesnt matter at all, because the Earth was destroyed. the people get off the mayflower which landed vertically which is impossible, but they survived 500 years without getting older and appeared suddenly on a living painting, so, so what if the mayflower is standing vertically. they have more important things on their minds like, flesh eating worms, riders, blue meanies, plus something called mother....

Summary: The eighty have awakened....
Review: After 500 years of hibernation, some of the eighty have awakened. Others haven't. Some never will. Tamara has a total freak baby. Billy was awake during the whole 500 years of the ride and is now in a coma. On top of all that, the Wakers are in a strange world where half of the landscape looks like something out of a colorful painting, and the other half is a black and white photograph.
The Wakers also get to meet some aliens. They are called the Riders. The Riders have two heads and fly around on hoverboards. One head is basically just for eating. Oh, and by the way, they aren't friendly.
You meet some new characters with strange nicknames. Rodger Dodger, Violet, Tate, Anamull, and various adults. Yago is already gathering followers.
This book is a little gross, what with flesh eating worms and the baby's melted eyeballs. However, it definately holds your attention and leaves you puzzling over what on earth (or wherever they are) is going on. I love it and would definately recommend it to younger sci-fi fans.

Summary: A Great Continuation
Review: After reading the first Remnant book, I didn't think there would be any better books. I was definitely wrong. This book introduced most of the Wakers of the Mayflower. The ones who survived. The first species of Aliens were discovered. There was a lot of action. After reading this, I couldn't wait to see what happened in the next book.

Summary: The end of the world has come...and gone.
Review: Five hundred years after the Mayflower and its crew left Earth before it was destroyed, Jobs and the others finally open their eyes to a world impossible to fathom. The terrain of this strange, new world is so unbelievable -- and it seems that it may pose a threatening danger to them, because they don't really know what's out there. Less than half of the eighty selected escapees survived the trip, and some of those undead are dying slowly, and because of never before seen diseases that maycontaminate the entire crew. Jobs, Mo'Steel, 2Face, and the others are desperate to understand this new world, and to cure the sick people that have awoken. But besides for the danger, there are some hideous revelations awaiting at every corner -- and some just may be unavoidable. Remnants #2: Destination Unknown is the exciting and unbelievably surprising second book in K.A. Applegate's all new Remnants series, which is proving time and again to replace the loss of Animorphs.

Summary: Looks to be a promising series.......
Review: It's been 500 years since an asteroid destroyed the Earth. It's been 500 years since the chosen 80 left Earth's orbit and began their journey to a new home. Their destination was unknown. And now that the survivors of that trip have awakened from their hibernation, they have no idea where they are. But that is the least of their problems. Not everyone survived the trip. They have no food, no water, and no idea if where they landed will support human life. As the survivors take stock of their surroundings, one thing becomes clear. They ship they were on did not bring them to this strange place. It shows no sign of going through a landing. On further inspection, the place where they 'landed' appears to be an environment created just for them. Can they survive in this new environment? What dangers await them? Who or what brought them to this place? This second book in the Remnants series builds upon the first novel, and sets a strong foundation for what promises to be a great series. We not only find out who from the first book survived the trip, but we are introduced to other survivors as well. We meet Violet Blake (a 'Jane'), her mother Wylson, and a host of other characters who will shape this new society. As expected, the power hungry Yago was already making his bid for power by manipulating those around him. Not all will be manipulated to his way of thinking however, thus adding to the drama and tension of the situation. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of this series. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the first novel in the Remnants series, or to anyone who is a fan of K.A. Applegate.

Summary: Great Book.
Review: Number two of this amazing series takes off after first... about 500 years after the first. The Mayflower has gone off course and landed in a world that looks like a painting, is inhabited by scary alien riders who like to kill humans, worms that are cannibals, and blue aliens. More than half of the people have died on the mayflower, leaving 34 left. But the creators of this strange paradise are obviously bad guys, since they have the riders kill one person, and kidnap eight others, as well as the corpses. By the end of the book, ten are missing, three have been killed, and another three are still on ice, with no sign of their waking up in the future, as well as the forty-five or so who died to begin with. It's a thrilling book.

Summary: KAA does it again!
Review: The former author of the Animorphs series, K.A. Applegate, started to write a new series last summer, called Remnants. As I eagerly awaited the first book, The Mayflower Project, I made up a lot of ideas of what I thought the new series would be like. I thought it was be good...I was wrong. It was GREAT!! Destination Unknown is the 2nd book, and I can tell you...it was fantastic. I really recomend this to fans of KAA and science fiction. It has suspence, action, and a very nice plot line. Read it!!

Summary: AMAZING!
Review: The Remnants wake up from their hibernation, and find out they've taken a 500 year "nap". More than half the Remnants are dead. They are on a bizzare planet, where nothing is realistic. There are strange aliens, nicknamed "Riders", who seem to want nothing but to ...[destroy] the Remnants. And pretty soon they find out they are not on a planet, but a ship...

Summary: The Awakening
Review: When the world ended, "The Mayflower Project" gave eighty people the chance for survival. Shot blindly into space the eighty Remnants of the human race have now landed 500 years after the end of the world. Jobs, 2Face, Mo'Steel, Yago, and some others have survived, but many weren't so lucky. Tamara, the pregnant marine sergant, has given birth to a baby mutant. Billy, the kid who stayed awake for all 500 years of their journey is in a coma and insane. Emotions are on high and the remaning people still have no clue where they've landed on. All they know is that the conflicting landscapes can't be true. Can they survive on this strange, new world all alone? This was my favorite Remnants book out of the seven I have read so far. Kept you guessing what was gonna happen next all the time. Some parts were kinda gross but that was just how the author imagined the planet to be. Can't wait to read further installments of Remnants!
