Then, both humans and crucnon are attacked by a previously unknown species, the crucks. As Holly, Jaddig, and others race to discover their origins, new mysteries are revealed as quickly as answers are found. Fast-paced and fascinating, I devoured Lost Generations as quickly as I could. The premise is exciting a lost settlement of humans, unaware of their origins, discovering the method in which they came to be stranded so many generations ago and finding the technology their people had lost. The politics of the story, displayed in the war between humans and crucnon, later joined by the crucks, explore issues of government control and prejudice.
Some light romance helps to soften the story from time to time.
Wayne South has written a great book based on a premise that brings shivers to my spine. Twists and turns in the plot kept me guessing, and I found the ending completely satisfying. A wonderful science-fiction novel which explores humanity and individuality, I highly recommend Lost Generations. He lives in the small university city of Palmerston North in the North Island of New Zealand and is married with three children. After his wife and daughter go off to work every morning, Wayne shares his living room with a black and white cat who demands to be fed at least six times a day and a goldfish called Survivor who managed to survive being dropped in a glass aquarium that was totally shattered.
