I read this book 20yrs ago when I was 12, and really enjoyed it. Maybe I would find these books ridiculous today, but this book and series appealed to me enough in middle school that I can pretty clearly recall them, and I've always been a voracious reader who cruised through many long forgotten titles as a kid.

I read this book in the [...], and [...] later, I can still remember some of the mental images from it. Definitely an enjoyable read for young sci-fi fans and a nice break from Star Trek novels and the like.

This review is from: Exiles of Colsec (Mass Market Paperback)

It's sometime in an Orwellian future, where any dissenter is deported to a newfound inhabitable planet. A prison ship develops a glitch, however; it crashes on the destination planet, killing half of the deportees. Five survivors--a rugged outdoorsman, an empathic computer tech, and three tough street kids--band together against hostile aliens and a psychotic ex-M.P. who also survives the crash.

While not particularly deep--it was written for teenagers, after all--"Exiles" was an exciting read.
