BOOK DETAILS

Cargo (The Reservation Trilogy, #1)
by Jen Castleberry
Release Date: January 17th 2016
Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis:

The earth has been reduced to a singular continent, governed by extra-terrestrials, collapsed by nuclear weapons residue and wracked with radiation sickness. Only one viable territory remains, and access there is restricted by a mysterious selection process. Everyone hopes to be chosen for transport. Everyone but Cass. 

Seventeen year old Cassidy Hartinger has spent the past eleven years living in a government-maintained bunker. She should be thrilled when a handsome transporter arrives to take her to the Reservation. So why does she feel like he's dragging her, kicking and screaming, straight into the anti-paradise? 

Faced with gun-wielding survivalists and elemental catastrophes, will Cass make it more than two steps out of the bunker? Will her journey to peace and safety in the Reservation turn out to be the most perilous thing she's encountered so far? 

Fast-paced action and a tumultuous teenage romance will keep readers begging for more installments of The Reservation Trilogy!

Review: 

            Sort of a cross between a dystopian and post-apocalyptic story, this story has a unique view of humans and the value of people.  The story can be disturbing in the lack of humanization, but it shows a particular fear of a possible future.  The story is told from the point of view of Cassidy, but the way other view her is shown in her reactions and what occurs.

            Some parts of the story can be difficult to follow, but the overall story arc is fascinating.  I look forward to the next book.

            I give this book 3.5 out of 5 clouds.
