Incarceron is the ultimate prison: no way in, no way out. It was designed long ago to prove that even the dregs of humanity could create a paradise if properly managed, but the AI that manages the prison became sentient and turned it into a hell. Finn was born full-grown in Incarceron and remembers nothing [...]]]></description>

Sorry it&#8217;s been awhile. Fortunately the 7th grade trip to New York was not apocalyptic in the slightest. Anyway, speaking of New York, it&#8217;s the setting of today&#8217;s old-school apocalypse! In the future, everyone lives in vast suburban Tracts in little boxes made of ticky-tacky. All Cities have been evacuated and sealed, deemed too filthy [...]]]></description>

A group of bad-ass teen criminals get kicked off Earth to be the lead team of colonizers of the planet Klydor. If they die, eh, no harm done.

All Amy knows is the endless corridors and grimy roach-infested apartments of the city. She&#8217;s marked as a possible troublemaker because she knows how to read, but if she keeps her head down and makes enough deliberate mistakes on the school vids, maybe they&#8217;ll send her to a training dorm to learn a trade.

Welcome to Old-School Apocalypse April!

This is the second book in the Chaos Walking trilogy, the sequel to The Knife of Never Letting Go.  The last 150 pages were separated by a work day for me, and it was possibly the least productive day ever.
