The
colony ship New Dawn has been
traveling in space for centuries. One of many ships bound for various planets
the inhabitants of New Dawn lost
contact with the other colonists long ago. They may well be the only humans
left from a doomed world and they need to make it Paradise
21 and not just survive, but thrive.
Like
the colonists before her, Andromeda Barliss has spent her whole life on board
the ship. However, unlike those that came before her, at age 17, she will be
landing on Paradise 21 and making it her new
home. Whether she wants to or not. Annie would rather stay on board the ship
than go out onto a strange new world and build a new life. When she gets her
work assignment she’s happy she’ll be working with her mom, but very unhappy
when she doesn’t get her best friend Sirius as her lifemate. What will she do?
Is the planet as safe as they’d been told all those centuries ago? What about
her Grandma Tiff telling her she would save the colony? What’s up with that?
Annie is about to find out many things about her fellow colonists, Paradise 21, her lifemate and, most of all, about herself.
This
is a great sci-fi story, well-written with an interesting plot and well-fleshed
characters. I found Annie to be a bit of a whiner, but she gets herself
together by the end. I’m curious to see where this series is heading and I’m
going to look into Dionne’s A New Dawn
series since they seem to be loosely tied into the Paradise Reclaimed series.
