Book Four: Rebellion


I see Kass Morgan has written a fourth book ( I thought book 3 was the end).

I wonder if it will follow the other three books (which had a decent ending) or will it now follow the TV series storyline

I thought book 3 was the end too so I was really surprised when I heard about a new one! Here's the summary of the forth book:

The Colonists and the Earthborns are celebrating their first holiday together when, to everyone’s horror, they’re attacked by a group of strangers whose unusual battle cries fill the air. The newcomers kill scores of people, seize prisoners, and pillage crucial supplies. When hotheaded Bellamy and his analytical girlfriend Clarke discover that Wells, Octavia and Glass have been captured, they vow to get them back at all costs. But as they go after their new enemies, Bellamy and Clarke find themselves increasingly at odds, unable to agree on a plan to save their friends.

Meanwhile, Wells, Octavia, and Glass are being slowly brainwashed by their captors, religious fanatics with one goal: to grow their ranks and “heal” the war-ravaged planet… by eliminating everyone else on it.

But centuries of radiation exposure have taken their toll, forcing the cult to take drastic steps to survive. And unless the rescue party arrives soon, the teen captives will face a fate more terrifying than anything they could imagine. In this thrilling fourth installment, the hundred fight to protect the people they love on the dangerous planet they always dreamed of calling home.


There are similarities to the TV show with the captors wanting to kill everyone else to save the planet (like Alie), and the radiation exposure (which is going to be predominant in season 4). But the books have always been really different so I don't think it'll follow the show much.

Wells??? Hes back??!!!

reply

Yeah he never died in the books! They're really different from the show. They aren't the best written but it's interesting to see how different the delinquents' dynamic is.

sounds awful and stupid. books aren't always better...

reply

Yeah I haven't read it yet but if it's anything like the others it's definitely not better than the show. To be fair, a TV show has much more time to develop things than a book, as opposed to a book having more time to develop than a movie
