In this book, the Remnants are basically riding big things called Blimps in the beginning. Then, they're on the USS Constitution, fighting Blue Meanies and Squids. Billy finally wakes up, the baby speaks (once), and Tate becomes more into the story. The story is also told from a Rider's point of view. There is some action. Emphasis on the word SOME. More people die, some don't. This book was OK.

the remnants join together again, then they ride things called blimps. Mo'Steel and Jobs take some hoverboards and fight some riders. they get on some version of the uss constitution and accidently blow up a statue which makes the blue meanies pissed as hell, so they start firing darts everywhere. some people are knocked overboard, some are shot. yago finally gets his dream: control of everyone...except tamara and the baby

The Group of 'Remnants' is lost,that's all there is to it,they are lost.they are stuck in a ship that calls it self 'mother',they are in a computer generated enviroment,in the middle of a cooper-colered sea in a ship 500-hundred years from an earth thats doesn't exist any mor.face it,they are in Nowhere land..........

In the beginning of the book they are still in two groups. Billy Weir is still in a coma. Then the world disappeared and they all fall into a swamp. Then they start to ride things that look like blimps. All the sudden there on the the U.S.S Constitution and they might not survive. Then all the sudden people are over board....... If you want to see what happens read Remnants: Nowhere Land. I liked this book because it is about a group of people trying to survive on an alien plant that they do not know anything about. My favorite character is Mo'Steel because he will always help the people in need.My favorite part in the book was when Mo'Steel and Jobs fight the Riders.

The author, K.A. Applegate, has written the Animorphs series, but most people don't know that she has started a Remnants series as well. The story begins with Jobs, Mo Steel, and Two Face. They're kids that all live normal lives on earth in the year 2011. It is discovered that an asteroid seventeen miles long is on a collision course with Earth. Impact is only a few days away. Eighty people, including Jobs, Mo Steel, and Two Face, are strapped into an unprepared space shuttle with experimental hibernation berths. Mankind's only hope for the survival of their species is launched into space in hopes of landing on a suitable planet.

After five-hundred years, some people wake up, while others died in hibernation. The survivors, including Jobs, Mo Steel, and Two Face, are in a very strange land. Some people are deformed and act very strangely. These survivors struggle to survive in this world that looks like a very odd painting. They encounter Blue Meanies, Riders, and giant blimp-like creatures filled with laughing gas. Will the homosapien species survive?

I have read up through the fourth book, and am waiting for the fifth to be published. I love the odd things in these books that no average mind could come up with. There are some very weird happenings. Deformaties turn human against human even though, more importantly, alien creatures are out to kill them all. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes a good fiction novel. These books keep you wondering what is going to happen next.

This author is truly amazing. To come up with great characters and such imaginative worlds is just mind-boggling. So, our crew from the Mayflower, last of the human race, finds themselves in a totally alien world that is really a gigantic spaceship that creates worlds from human artworks. Unfortunately we have some pretty strange artist and so the brave new world of the last remnants of humanity have a hard time figuring out what's going on, and how best to survive.

Instead of the remaining humans being divided into the 'it's all about me crowd', and the let's work together 'cause we're all we've got, the two groups find each other and go on an adventure together aboard a blimp-like beast, and then aboard the U.S.S. Constitution. Just when you think you've got a handle of the plot, Applegate takes you down the rabbit hole to a whole new world.

It's enough to engage any young reader, and me, an older reader. I wish these books could be made into movies because the characters are drawn so well, with the plots leave you wanting to turn page after page until you get to the end, and then rush to your local book store to buy the next book.

The study of humanity and what choices we make and why are sketched out nicely in this book. These are no one-dimensional characters. The good and the bad have elements of both in them, which makes them real enough to pop off the page.

I can't wait to read the rest of this series and if these books don't get your kids reading, read them yourself. They're that good.

500 years from home and the last of us, the Remnants have finally found out their true environment they landed on before Mother changed everything for them. This new environment might be even more dangerous than the last...a land full of pink blubbery blimps, riders, and slimy sucker that look like eels. It is an ocean environment with many surprises. The Remnants must bind together to defeat their environment. But right now the environment is winning and the Remnants aren't exactly working together. There are the so called mutants: 2Face, Edward, Billy Weir, and Tamara's baby, Then there is their leader Wylson( however even that isn't set. The presidents son Yago wants nothing more than to be in charge of things.) Emotions are all on high and this small group of humans, the last of our kind, are falling apart. There are inner battles...the one most dangerous between the mutant baby and Billy Weir. There is something about Billy that makes the baby on edge. Then there is the battle for power between Yago and Wylson. All and all the Remnats will have to work together to their best of ability to defeat the environment not meant for them.

The Remnants have faced horrifying encounters ever since they woke up from hibernation. They've been split up into teams before and needed each other, and they've also made personal agendas between themselves to help them stay alive. But when they discover that their surroundings aren't actually what they seemed, soon they begin to realize that their unity is a key to help them all. The land that they're on never really seemed normal, but some of its horrors have been revealed before. But Jobs, Mo'Steel, 2Face, Violet Blake, and the others know that a common enemy may at last bind the team together in the ultimate quest to survive. Little do they know the challenge that awaits them in the shadows. Remnants #4: Nowhere Land is K.A. Applegate's daring new addition to the Remnants series, and the suspense and mystery continue to grow.

Now that the Remnants have destroyed the Node,they are in the land of the Riders,back how Mother was before the Mayflower.They're in a land of copper-colored seas,small marsh-like islands,Large pinkish "Blimps",and Riders......well,atleast the 2 groups are back together,sort of......Yago is trying to separate the normal people from the freaks,like 2Face,Billy,and Edward.He craves power,he needs a way to get it,but how?The Group of Remnants struggle to survive,as Mother tries to kill them...........
