A disease caused by a passing comet has a devastating morbidity-effect on Earth's over-eighteen population. In a last-ditch effort to save humanity, 251 teenagers are launched into space--along with a saboteur. Despite a dubious premise and starship-sized plot holes, this series starter offers dynamic characters and enough action and intrigue (not to mention high stakes) to command readers' attention.
