I completley agree with the last reviewer, this is probably one of the worst books in the series. That said K.A. never writes a bad book, so its still worth reading. Be warned YOU MUST READ EACH BOOK CHRONOLOGICALLY FROM NUMBER ONE! A lot of this book is the renmants walking around with the very boring Marauders.
But it is Required reading if you want to follow the story of the remnants. I can't wait for the final two books in the series, but i'll be sad to say goodbye to Jobs, Mo'steel, 2Face and the gang. In the words of one of the Marauders "J'ou should definitely read this book just so j'ou can be prepared for the final j'ou- i mean two books"

In all the Remnants books, Mo'steel has been my favorite character. He has to deal with a lot of stuff, and doesn't always get to have what he really needs. He takes it all in stride, which isn't something most people could do.
In this book, you see the darker side of Mo. He is only trying to do what is best for the Remnants and Marauders, but things always seem to go awry, sometimes ending in death.
All in all, this was one of my favorite Remnants books. Good job, K.A Applegate.

Okay, maybe it wasn't all about Mo--but this is one of the first books to give him the focus, and I think that this was a good thing. Mo is an interesting character, and one of the greatest mistakes K.A has made is giving him only 'side kick' status. That said this book isn't as bad in my opinon as some of the other reviewers seem to be making it out to be. I found the Marauders to be an interesting people and the books second focus is most certainly them. Also nice were bits thrown in to keep suspense--including an appearance by Billy, and gasp--the last of the missing remnants if the voice he heard is to be believed. I definatly agree that the books must be read in order. It really is a shame that this series never caught on to the popularity of Animorphs, so if you stopped reading, or haven't started I would go to the bookstore and give this series a try--it really is brilliant.

I have to admit, I've been a big fan of Remnants for about seven months now, and I stood by after Lost and Found, and whole Dreamstorm was better, Aftermath sunk back to 3 star level.

If you're a fan you should definitely read this one. Remnants is one of those series where you'll be completely lost if you don't read them in order. Otherwise, just don't.

Some good things about it is that Billy is not dead. The ending was good, and we have a cliffhanger ending. I don't understand why Echo's on the cover. She only made a 10 page appearance and has very little relevance to the story.

At any rate there was little story. But it ahd a message. The Remnants taught the Marauders to be human again. Survival does bad things to your humanity.

But never fear, I have a strong feeling the next book will be REALLY great. The sample was, anyway.

To KA: Great work! keep it coming!
