About the book: 2017 / A month has passed since the landing of the new shuttles, on which a fresh batch of colonists arrived, joining the original hundred. Former juvenile delinquents became leaders, gaining authority among their fellows. It would seem that it’s time to calm down and relax, but a threat comes out of nowhere: a sect of fanatics is trying to strengthen its position and “heal” the war-ravaged planet... by destroying everyone who inhabits it. When several of her friends are captured at once, Clarke goes to them to the rescue in full confidence that she will be able to reach mutual understanding with her opponents. Bellamy adheres to a different tactic: no one and nothing will stop him from saving those who are dear to him. What happens to those who are captured? Glass falls under the spell of the cultists, and Wells is forced to take on the role of leader. While awaiting rescue, the young captives face a fate far more terrible than they could have imagined. If one hundred colonists still want to make this dangerous planet their home, they will have to put aside their infighting, unite for a decisive battle and defend themselves and their world.
