The premise is the world is dying.  "Things" have been arranged by the higher ups to send 2 young people, boy and girl, out in escape pods with a computer that is programmed to put them in cryosleep until their pod arrives at a habitable world.  They will technically be the Adam and Eve of a new world and keep the human race from dying.  Rebels attack trying to get to the pods and save themselves.  Oh, I almost forgot.  There is a disease raging over our world and only a few seem to be immune to it... the people at the Academy (where the young people come from who have been trained to survive anywhere) are immune.The rebels attack, one of the men from the Academy escapes but the girl who is to be his "mate" doesn't get to the pod but another girl - not from the Academy - is already inside the pod and they have to take off.They crash land on a planet much like Earth and the book then is about their struggle to survive the planet.  There aren't any monsters or man-eating vines or anything like that.  What they find is another race, humanoid, and a bunch of machines bound and determined to destroy that race and anything else that walks on two feet and verbalizes.I really enjoyed this book and wished it had continued.  It seemed way too short when I got involved with the people.  I wanted to see what they did after they were found by the humanoids.  I hope there's a sequel.You might really like this book.  I did.  I got it free and you can't beat that!P.S.  It's nice to write a nice review for a change.  The last few books I've read have been really crappy.  I've got to learn how to pick them better.  ;-)
