Rating: 3 out of 5

Slightly improbable survival of the human race story with the beginning of good complexity of characters. The earth has been destroyed and the last of the human race has left on generation ships. As a strategy of last resort if the ship is in danger, elite youngsters are groomed in survival strategies and prepared to be cast to the stars in couples to re-seed the human race. The worst happens, and it all goes wrong. An elite and entitled boy ends up being dispatched with what he regards as an incompetent girl, smuggled on by her political father. Despite her lack of training, and his arrogant attitudes, they need to make the best of an unscripted arrangement. The girl's character is particularly well written, and this author shows promise.
