The Remnants continue their struggle with a world created by Mother, the powerful computer who seems to have human qualities. The few people who have faced Mother have failed miserably, but the Remnants have one hope, Billy, the kid who stayed awake all 500 years of their journey. He is the only one who has been able to creat a bond with her. From Mother, through Billy, the Remnants learn much about the lonely negelected computer, including the fact that she was made by the powerful Shipwrights. Soon the Remnants figure out that Mother has the ability to recreate Earth too but the Remnants know she will ask something in return. Yago, against many people's wishes, makes a deal with Mother to let her delve into his mind and recreate Earth. In return Yago agrees to destroy the Children for Mother, otherwise know as the "Blue Meanies" A computer generated battle takes place as the projections of Civil War Soliders take on the Blue Meanies. Will the Remnants survive the battle they can't even control?

This wasn't one of the best Remnants books and thing definitely got weirder. Some things I felt were a little out of control weird. This book did have some pretty impressive revelations as we get to know the baby's true identity. We also meet 2 new Remnants who have been separated from the rest of the Remnants and held captive by the Children.

As you have probably guessed from the title of my review i like this book although it was somewhat confusing at the start. BUT, don't let that put you off reading the book. It seems that Yogo is getting more anxious to run the small group of Remnants that survived the Mayflowers journey through the depths of space. Tamara Hoyle and her freaky baby are beggining to scare the group. Billy just getts stranger as the book progresses. He seems to be able to tap into peoples minds and sense what their feeling. This may come in useful later on. It may even save their lives.In the book 2 more remnants appear.Mother makes a deal with Yago. He launches an attack on another alier race. Read the book to find out more. It may not be the most exciting of the books so far but it makes the next one look great in a way only K.A. Applegate can achieve. Its a shame that it will take a while for the next few to arrive on our shelves but until then we can keep our imaginations running like mad.

The strange connection that Mother has to Billy is keeping the Remnants alive, but Billy can't bargain with the powerful machine forever. A decision has to be made -- should she be trusted, or should she be left alone, which will possibly create more dangers for the group? As Billy tries to understand the torment raging inside Mother's mind -- if it has one -- it seems as if there are Remnants who want to destroy not only Billy, but all the other Remnants as well. These mysterious people, living in secrecy but obviously stronger than Jobs and the others, have a dangerous motive and will do anything to stop the other Remnants. But the most hideous intention of all lies in a mind that the Remnants would have never before imagined. Remnants #6: Breakdown is a highly imaginative addition to the series, like the fifth book, and will leave the reader in shock for the seventh book, Isolation. It's fast-paced and exciting, once again restoring the Remnants series to the suspense it had from the first book.

OK,here's the deal;after the events in book 5 Yago finds himself hooked up to Mother,the supercomputer that runs the ship the Remnants have tried to inhabit.Mother reads Yago's memories and creates a computer-generated Washington D.C.Yago then finds himself leading a battalion of computer-generated soldiers against a battalion of Blue Meanies.My favorite scene is where a Blue Meanie "kills" Yago.Fortunately it turns out to be a projection of Yago,made to simulate his death.Altogether Yago played a big part in this chapter of the Remnants' saga.

i think that this book really picks up the pace in the series. sometimes though, i felt that the author tried to rush things and didn't explain them well. overall though, this book really explain's yago and is one of the better remnant's books. i though think that the first is the best.

The Remnants are a group of survivors that escaped from the asteroid that wiped out earth and have been floating in space for 500 years in hibernation. Then they landed on a ship and are now trapped on that ship controlled by a super computer called Mother. They are now going to challenge Mother. The other people that have tried to fight and take over have failed and have now gone crazy. There only hope now is a boy named Billy that has some how been able to create a bond with mother. They also learn through him that Mother is lonely and about the Shipwrights. They have also learned that Mother can create new environments and even new worlds. She can even create a computer-generated earth. But will they survive long enough for Billy to take over?
I thought that this is a great book. This is one of the best-written books that I have ever read. I would suggest reading the others and this one if youre a Sci-fi fan.

I, personally, thought the 1st book in this series was good, but it seemed that after that, Applegate didn't know where to go with it, but had to write something, and this is the result. I have only read books 1-6, but this is my opinion. I'll stick with this series and see if a general plot ever developes. Right now, I don't reccomend these books.

The Remnant series presses on getting stranger and stranger all the time. I can't even begin to guess where Applegate gets her ideas but they are original and mind-bending. Mother, the computer is insane with loniness and so is more than happy to have Billie inside her head.

Kubrick gets his wish to be in charge but realized quickly that making a bargain with Mother has some serious strings attached. He's to fight the Blue Meanies for Mother using Sheridan, the brutal Civil War general and the rest of the remnants. To say more is to give away some of the excitement so I'll just leave it at that.

We learn more about Mother since we are now privy to her thoughts. I found this part of the book very interesting. It seemed to have taken a long time to get to this point, but it's been worth the wait. Tamara's baby gets weirder and the book hints that the baby might not be just a baby after all, but then again, we knew that from the start.

The series is well-worth the read and I'm sure kids will love it. As an adult, I found it interesting and lots of fun.
