Chargement... The Harvestpar N.W. Harris
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  EdenSteffey | Mar 14, 2018 |   Here they are told what is really happening, and yes, it is the ultimate sci fi cliche....aliens from Roswell taught humans how to make the weapon; aliens have been influencing Earth since ancient Egyptian and Mayan times, blah, blah,blah.. From here on it is a Hunger Games type boot camp for the humans as they battle in teams from all over the planet so they are prepared to save the human race from becoming soldier slaves for the approaching alien fleet. Shane's USA team fight against Russians (who else), Chinese and others including a bunch of laid-back Aussies (yay) who they end up befriending. Then its time to fight off zombie and cannibalistic children to infiltrate the ships when they arrive and destroy the main reactor core in each one. (...mmm...anyone seen Star Wars episode 4...?) Despite the totally predictable plot lines, the story is gripping from start to finish and clean despite the violence (zombie kids wearing the faces of the dead and episodes of human sacrifice are particularly gory.) There is little swearing and no sex ( Shane and Kelly just snuggle on their bunks as do the lesbian couple). Once again, the book ends with some resolution but also a cliffhanger where Kelly is the victim. This one more Science Fiction than the first one. (  ) nicsreads | Apr 5, 2016 | “So you’re saying we’re half caveman, half Anunnaki?” one teen asks, while alien saviors describe how the “human crop is ripe.” The story combines Roswell with Sumerian gods, teen horror with cool sci fi, and extra-Biblical legend with dystopian survival. The result is enjoyably unsettling as lines between good guys and bad guys blend, break and change. Like many teen dystopias, this broken world involves a plethora of team and individual sports, selection of the fittest, and threats of betrayal. It’s a cool combination of science fiction, faith and mythology, and it’s a fun read. Of course, it’s part two in a series, and readers should start with part one, then expect to be left eager to read part three. Disclosure: I was given an ecopy and I offer my honest review. ( ) SheilaDeeth | Mar 26, 2016 | The premise is what happens when all grownups are killed and only young teens and younger children are left. The first book was a fantastic introduction into this hypothetical world where the focus is how these children manage to survive. The Harvest continues exactly where the first novel left off but begins to answer such questions as to why the adults of the world were killed and what purpose the young survivors have. I found the book to be well written and very original. I stayed up very late at night because I had to know what was going to happen next. I am really looking forward to the continuation of this wonderful series. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

It was fun to read because I couldn’t figure out the plot, even though it seemed kind of far fetched at times. (
