Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children ― among them Petra and her family ― have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race.\n\nHundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet ― and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity’s past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard ― or purged them altogether.\n\nPetra alone now carries the stories of our past, and with them, any hope for our future. Can she make them live again?\n\nP R A I S E\n\n“Clever and compelling … wonderfully subversive.”\n―The Wall Street Journal\n\n “This tale packs a wallop.
