Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

In Earthseed (1983), genetically created teenagers were taught survival skills to fulfill a desperate plan to settle other worlds. Centuries pass; settlements are started on an earthlike planet, Home; and children are born. Then a small group breaks away and sets up its own society, which degenerates into a primitive existence. Meanwhile, those who stay at the original settlement are fearful, never straying far from their homes and pastures. In Farseed, Sargentexplores the resurgence of the conflict between the groups that begins after 16-year-old Nuy, the daughter of the leader of the breakaway contingent, encounters strangers who are looking for her people. The interpersonal dynamics, plus the challenges of adapting to another world, give this long-awaited second book in the Seed Trilogy strong appeal. Sally Estes

“A melding of the psychological and the high adventure story, this gripping, emotion-evoking narrative is the first young adult novel by the author of Watchstar and other adult science fiction.”—Starred review, Booklist on Farseed
“The story is thought-provoking and full of odd surprises.”—School Library Journal on Farseed
“This fascinating novel is very reminiscent of the better Heinlein juveniles (particularly Tunnel in the Sky)...a very impressive novel....should not be overlooked.”—SF Chronicle on Farseed
