The Convergence (Last on Earth Book 2) [Mass Market Paperback]

Marilyn Kaye (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1998

It has been four weeks since the day of the Disappearance--when twenty-five seniors left math class to find the rest of the human race had vanished. They are divided into rival groups: While Travis has established himself as leader of the Community, his militaristic ways have caused Jake and other rebels to split off and try to reconnect to the rest of humanity. What they discover is powerful evidence that they are not alone in the universe...or on Earth. They have entered into a new reality...more mysterious, more advanced, and far more terrifying than anything they might have imagined.

5.0 out of 5 stars MARILYN KAYE, YOUR A GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!, February 6, 1999

Last on Earth: The Convergence is the BEST book in the trilogy series! Book 1 took some time to get into but once you did you couldn't wait to see what happened next. I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!! I LOVED IT SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! The characters are warm and heartfelt, the story is beautifully written, and the topic is so interesting!! What would happen if i were one of 25 students left on earth? Each character has thier own way of dealing with it. And Marilyn Kaye put equal work and depth into EVERY one of them. No joke. Any person can relate to thier own character, that's the beauty part! I loved it!! This book deserves WAAAAYYY more than 5 stars. How bout 6? or 10? This is one of the most emotional, deepest, heartfelt, adventurous, touching, uplifting, and downright most BEAUTIFUL books I've ever read in my life!!!!! BUY THIS ONE NOW! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, ILL PERSONALLY GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK! I guarantee this book will make you either laugh, cry, smile, or all three. I did all three. I loved it so much!! Thank you so so so much Ms. Kaye! Your a treasure! It's great to realize that some adults out there truly know and understand what it's like to be a teen in the 90's. It's not easy. A THOUSAND HUGS AND KISSES AND THANKS TO MISS MARILYN KAYE! YOUR THE BEST!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lord of the Flies 90's Style, December 3, 1998

This review is from: The Convergence (Last on Earth Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

As a Junior in high school I read Lord of the Flies and found it to be well written and entertaining. Then I saw Last on Earth:The Vanishing. I picked it up and finished it in a day. So I went out and purchased book 2.

I have found the first two books to be well written and enjoyable. They are so much better than LotF (Lord of the Flies). These kids are the only one on earth, a great difference from LotF. These kids are truely alone and are tested to the limit of the abilities. What do you do, when you learn that you are 1 of 25 people to survive a mysterious incident that caused billions of people to vanish. Do you give up or try to find out what happened? That is what happens here, some want to forget, and others want to know what happened.

So what did happen? That is what we will learn in book 3 I hope.

This review is from: The Convergence (Last on Earth Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book so much I decided to puchase a brand new set of the books, then I put them under glass and locked them in a safe place so future generations could enjoy. This book was so real I felt my heart pounding when they first emerged from the high school. It was as if it was dream come true! Stores open for the taking. Anything you want is yours, high tech computers, cd's, radios, movies, hotels!!!!!!!! everything you couldn't have before you could have now. And there was people to enjoy it with. No Parents,NoTeachers, No authority figures. I loved this book. This book is not for just sci-fi loving "trek-ies" but for everybody. Grown-ups, little kids and especially teens. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
