Colonization
I was given a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.Andromeda (Annie) a seventeen year old who has spent her life aboard a ship called New Dawn in deep space. The New Dawn is heading to a new planet they have named Paradise 21 where everyone on board will begin their new lives. Annie unlike everyone else is not ready to reach the new planet and leave the New Dawn. She is not ready for change. She wants everything to stay the same.
With only one month left before New Dawn reaches Paradise 21, Annie and everyone else her age has to take a test to determined what their jobs will be when they reach the planet. Annie has been a slacker her whole life and is worried about the test and what her new life entails. The test is not the only thing she has to worry about. The computer will also pick her lifemate for her. Annie is worried that she is going to fail the test and will not be paired with her best friend Sirius.
Upon arriving on Paradise 21 Annie starts seeing alien ghost who are trying to warn her of the danger to her and her people. Paradise 21 is not the paradise they believe it to be. Annie and the New Dawn are not the first ones to step foot on the planet. Annie knows she can't tell anyone about the aliens because they will think she is crazy. She realizes she will have to grow up and figure out what is going on and save everyone on her own.
When her friend Sirius' ship crashes and no one knows where Sirius and his crew are. Annie knows where they are and knows that she is the only one who can help them. Annie thinks she will have to find them and save them by herself. But she is wrong, Corvus her lifemate risks everything like his job and his life to help Annie save her friends.
I have read books about people who live on a ship in space before but I have never read anything and I do mean anything quiet like Colonization before. I have not stopped thinking about it since I read the last page. Colonization was one of the most amazing books I have read in a long time. Now I want to read more books in this genre. I can not wait to read the next book in this series. I would really love to read the New Dawn series too to find out how it all came about.
