"In the final installment of an exhilarating sci-fi adventure trilogy in the vein of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Red Rising, Scott Sigler's unforgettable heroine, Em Savage, must come to grips once and for all with the perilous mysteries of her own existence. "We thought this place was our destiny--not our doom." Pawns in a millennia-old struggle, the young people known only as the Birthday Children were genetically engineered to survive on the planet Omeyocan--but they were never meant to live there. They were made to be "overwritten," their minds wiped and replaced by the consciousnesses of the monsters who created them. Em changed all of that. She unified her people and led a revolt against their creators. Em and her friends escaped an ancient ghost ship and fled to Omeyocan. They thought they would find an uninhabited paradise. Instead, they found the ruins of a massive city long since swallowed by the jungle. And they weren't alone. The Birthday Children fought for survival against the elements, jungle wildlife, the "Grownups" who created them. and, as evil corrupted their numbers, even against themselves. With these opponents finally defeated, Em and her people realized that more threats were coming, traveling from across the universe to lay claim to their planet. The Birthday Children have prepared as best they can against this alien armada. Now, as the first ships reach orbit around Omeyocan, the final battle for the planet begins. Praise for Scott Sigler's Alive "Suspenseful. [Alive] lives up to its hype, packing plenty of thrills. A page-turner that whets the appetite for volume 2."--Entertainment Weekly "Fascinating and intriguing. a cross between Lord of the Flies and The Maze Runner and yet. so much more."--Fresh Fiction "A ripping, claustrophobic thunderbolt of a novel."--Pierce Brown, #1New York Times bestselling author of Red Rising "Unstoppable and real, M. Savage is one hell of aheroine. Get ready to be left breathless."--Kristin Cast, New York Times bestselling author of the House of Night series "Sigler has created a wonderful and engrossing character in M. Savage. Strong and smart, but with the naïvete and misgivings of any teenage girl, she's someone you'll definitely want on your side when s**t hits the fan, which it most certainly does."--Veronica Belmont, host of Sword & Laser "The puzzle unfolds masterfully, right down to the last page."--Phil Plait, PhD, author of Bad Astronomy"--"The third and final installment in the dystopian adventure trilogy featuring a compelling young female heroine, hot on the heels of Alive and Alight. At last, our heroes get to the bottom of the confounding mystery of their own existence. At the same time, they must contend with the fact that if they can't defend the planet their bodies were engineered to inhabit, they'll be forced to flee--in hopes that some corner of the far-flung universe will prove hospitable"--… (mehr)

A perfectly serviceable "Hunger Games" clone. In fact, it might be too much of a clone at certain points and that makes it 4 rather than 5 stars. It is still worth reading if you miss you some Katniss. ( )

Good book, not my up of tea. Had to push myself to finish. ( )

This book felt really long for some reason. Not that it was boring in anyway but I kept feeling that the end of the story must be near and I wasn't even halfway through the book. Nevertheless I found this to be a good ending to the trilogy. There was quite a lot of different storylines going on throughout the narrative but all in all an exciting read with a surprise ending. ( )

I think this is the first trilogy I've read in which the first book was great, the second even better and the third somehow even better again.

Alone picks up where Alight left off and without giving away the plot I can say within are some of the best battle scenes of the trilogy, some brilliantly executed turns in the characters developments and a great ending to cap off the three books. ( )

This book is a fitting ending in this trilogy. If you have not read the first book than you need to go do so right away. Not only because these books are meant to be read in chronological order but because if you like dystopian novels with strong characters than you need to check this trilogy out.

Em and the rest of the group might be fighting their biggest battle yet. Their friendships will be tested. Additionally, death will come to some. The planet of Omeyocan is another element of what I liked about this trilogy. It is a very unique world. Just when I thought I knew it all, it seemed like I was still discovering things about the planet. Talk about action. There was plenty of it to keep the story flowing at a nice, fast pace. I was not disappointed by the ending. It was a fitting and good one. I can't wait to see what Mr. Sigler comes out with next. This trilogy does deserve a spot up there with the Hunger Games, Maze Runner, and Divergent. ( )
