Comet’s Curse


from School Library Journal



Up-More than 200 years in the future, Comet Bhaktul hurtles past Earth, leaving a deadly contagion in its wake. Bhaktul's disease threatens to annihilate the human race within a decade, but the mysterious illness only affects adults. Scientists worldwide scramble to find a cure, while one scientist proposes a controversial project to preserve humanity, should other efforts fail. Under Project Galahad, 251 teens are sent on a mission to reach a habitable planet free of Bhaktul's contamination. As Galahad enters space, the young people must deal with the intense pressure of saving humankind and the sadness of leaving their families behind. Sixteen-year-old Triana, the ship's commander, must manage daily operations while also dealing with her father's recent death. Matters escalate when, less than a week out, one of the teens spots an adult onboard, a potential Bhaktul carrier. With the help of the Council and the ship's computer brain, Triana does her best to solve the mystery of the uninvited passenger and save their mission.

  2. This book was okay. The sespense was really slow and it took forever for the action to begin. But this book taiks 251 teens that are on the ship Galahad. They are on this ship because the commet Bakutal sweeped the world and they was going to be the only human life left. But their is the a love story that got me interested. Triana is a lonler and the captain of the ship.She might fall in love with grocched face Bon. But what she doesn't know is that this Asian boy name Gap secreatly likes her. But during all this, Dr. Bruer is truying to sabotoge the launch. The real action happens when Bon and Trianna defeats him and everything turns back to normal.

  3. I absolutely loved this book!!!!! It had such a beautiful storyline and so much suspense I had to keep reading. Tree was such a cool character because she was an inspiration to the crew and her friends. I loved the ending where Tree and her friends nab the stowaway and foil all his plans. Great book!!!!
