Let’s talk about the redeeming qualities about this book first, that’s the shorter of my two lists. Consider yourself warned, there be spoilers ahead. Let’s not repeat this pattern Scott Sigler, it’s not a good look.Īlright, all that finished. Or look for ones that specifically state no spoilers. If someone doesn’t wish to be spoiled, they should probably not read reviews. Once that book is out into the world, you no longer control it as an author and you certainly don’t control the way it is read or reviewed. Scott Sigler has never been someone that didn’t understand the reader/author line and always been very respectful of any and all feedback. On the podcast for Alive, and apparently on the book (at least the advance copies), he felt it necessary to add a little notation that said if you’re going to review this book, please don’t post spoilers and ruin it for other people. Now, in order for me to be intellectually honest, I also have to mildly rebuke the author a little. In hindsight, I should have been worried. But he’s an extraordinary writer so I didn’t worry about it too much. Dick jokes and very colorful language is part of the writing style, none of which can be in a young adult book. Young Adult is not really the Sigler wheelhouse. When I first heard this book was being published I was a little surprised. If he puts it into print, I will read it. For me, Scott Sigler is an auto-buy, auto-read author. I can honestly say I don’t think I have ever given one of his books less than four stars. Review: I cannot begin to tell you how dismayed I am to be giving a book by Scott Sigler just two stars.

Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the next turn. Maybe there’s a way out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers to come. If she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. Now, if they’re to have any chance, she must get them to trust one another. She is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her.

Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin-yet she finds herself in charge. She knows only one thing about herself-her name, M. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people…and no answers. Fighting her way free brings little relief-she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. No, not a board…a lid.Ī teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. There is a board right in front of my face. I lift my head…it thumps against something solid and unmoving. I hear my own breathing, but nothing else. Alive (Generations Trilogy #1) by Scott Siglerīuy this book at: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
