Ship hurtles through space. Deep within its core it carries the seed of humankind. Launched by the people of a dying Earth over a century ago, its mission is to find a habitable world for the children - 15-year-old Zoheret and her shipmates - whom it has created from its genetic banks.

Now that day is almost upon them, but are they ready?
Sort of Like the Hunger Games
Parts of this book reminded me of the Hunger Games, like when they have a contest to see which team can make it through the Hollow which is a wilderne..Show More »ss earth like part of the ship they are on.

What I didn't like it that they could have sex without consequences, although their aren't any sex scenes.
All in all it was a good book and I felt the Narrator was a perfect pick for the main charter's voice.

Several hundred years ago, Ship, a sentient starship, settled humans on the planet Home before leaving to colonize other worlds, promising to return one day. Over time, the colony on Home divided into those who live in the original domed buildings of the colony, who maintain the library and technology of Ship, and those who live by the river, farming and hunting to survive.
