Cargo (The Reservation Trilogy, #1)

by Jen Castleberry
Release Date: January 17th 2016
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis:
The
earth has been reduced to a singular continent, governed by extra-terrestrials,
collapsed by nuclear weapons residue and wracked with radiation sickness. Only
one viable territory remains, and access there is restricted by a mysterious
selection process. Everyone hopes to be chosen for transport. Everyone but
Cass.
Seventeen
year old Cassidy Hartinger has spent the past eleven years living in a
government-maintained bunker. She should be thrilled when a handsome
transporter arrives to take her to the Reservation. So why does she feel like
he's dragging her, kicking and screaming, straight into the
anti-paradise?
Faced
with gun-wielding survivalists and elemental catastrophes, will Cass make it
more than two steps out of the bunker? Will her journey to peace and safety in
the Reservation turn out to be the most perilous thing she's encountered so
far?
Fast-paced
action and a tumultuous teenage romance will keep readers begging for more
installments of The Reservation Trilogy!

Review:
Sort of a cross between a dystopian
and post-apocalyptic story, this story has a unique view of humans and the
value of people. The story can be
disturbing in the lack of humanization, but it shows a particular fear of a
possible future. The story is told from
the point of view of Cassidy, but the way other view her is shown in her
reactions and what occurs.
Some parts of the story can be
difficult to follow, but the overall story arc is fascinating. I look forward to the next book.
I give this book 3.5 out of 5
clouds.
