5.0 out of 5 stars best book yet!, July 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Isolation (Remnants #7) (Paperback)

this is the best book i've read out of the seven that are out. the true identity of the baby is formed and earth's remnants have to try and stop it. but there is only person who can. and for all of you action lovers, there is an awesome fight with the baby/shipwright and the one teenager who can stop him. the shipwright is actually afraid of the offender, because he knows that there's a small chance that the human will discover his true power and destroy the shipwright, so he must try to destroy him first. mean while another fight rages on as two humans(tamara hoyle an Mo'steel) fight as puppets...well you're gonna have to read it to see who wins and what happens after it. but it is a great book, and i loved it and so will you.

This review is from: Isolation (Remnants #7) (Paperback)

This book serves as a transitional piece in the Remnants series, much like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is to the Harry Potter septology.

The book takes up from the sixth book with the Remnants split into factions. 2Face assumes the leadership of one group, and they head toward the bridge. Tamara and the baby lead the smaller group, which heads toward a Rider camp.
Tate wants to aid the residual human in Tamara and follows her deep into the enemy camp. What she sees greatly disturbs her and she narrowly escapes.
Tate, Roger Dodger and D-Caf try a daring scape of some of the Riders' hoverboards. The chase scene that follows will have you sick with anticipation until its breathtaking resolution.
Yago takes a peripheral role in this novel, but he does start to believe that he pure and chosen by Mother to continue a new non-marred human civilization on her ship.

2Face nearly takes the role of Yago in her group, becoming angry when others are hesitant to follow her lead. Kubrick has feelings for this girl and protects her with his life.
Upon nearing the bridge, a massive battle breaks out. The Riders have nasty moves, but the Meanies have some tricks up their sleeves. As more and more are killed in the battle, the Baby grows stronger. The baby's true identity is confirmed in the novel as well as the location of the bridge.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet!!!, February 26, 2003

This review is from: Isolation (Remnants #7) (Paperback)

I thought that this was a great and exciting book. I liked the part though when some of the remnants got to use the hover boards. This book was filled with adventure and excitement. Some of the parts are pretty graphic though. There was a big battle scene and I think you'll find it interesting to see how it turns out. There is also a great secret that arises with the people in the group. I thought the secret was unexpected and that it really brought some excitement to the book. Overall I think that you'll love it. Have Fun!!!
