The Eden Project: Humanity's Last Chance Kindle Edition

by DP Fitzsimons (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 336 ratings
There was only one rule: NEVER LEAVE THE DOME.

Inside the dome, 117 tube-born kids lived free of contamination. Trained since birth, they were almost ready to launch their ships and leave the dying planet behind. They were humanity's final hope to avoid extinction. Their mission would be to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy seeking out a habitable world free of the C-1 virus.

They tried not to think of conditions outside the dome where the virus had driven the last of the uninfected into the ground, into dark bunkers where they waited to be rooted out by cannibalistic hordes. Streets had become boneyards. Weeds grew inside long-forgotten government buildings.

Fifteen-year-old Genevieve Fifthborn knew all this, she was fully aware that the world was coming to an end, but on the island of The Eden Project she had much bigger problems, boy problems. Only her first love might risk far more than a broken heart, it just might bring about the end of our species.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Stephen Baxter meets Guillermo del Toro?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2013

    This has been on my kindle for a long time - I think I picked it up when it was free. Now I pick up a lot of freebies but don't read most of them. But I read this one. The blurb looked intriguing and the cover good (though strangely wrong for the novel,IMO).

    The story reminded me very much of Stephen Baxter's Ark. Humanity building an ark/spaceship to save enough people to go and colonise the galaxy. Baxter is a techo-freak, this has a little less technology and engineering and a bit more humanity in it. But I did feel at times that it wasn't sure whether it was romance or science fiction and the blending of the two was a little abrupt in places. I'd like to have got deeper into Gen, Adam, Zeke and Tuna - find out how they grew up to be so "normal" in such extraordinary circumstances. And I'd like to have known a bit about where they were hoping to go - how they knew there was anywhere *to* go. A bit more depth, maybe? But I expect that's all in the next books...

    But great characterisation. The adult mentors watching over the children who are their future. Believable dialogue and I did like the way the plot came together, with everything falling into place towards the end. And I did buy the next book which must say something!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A cross between I Am Legend and Logan's Run
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2014
    There are seven doctors and engineers left to tend and teach the one hundred and seventeen laboratory created human children of the Eden project. The C-1 virus has decimated planet Earth’s human population turning all those infected into a cross between the creatures of I Am Legend and the reevers (cannibalistic zombies of the Firefly series). There are enclaves of survivors scattered and dwindling while these children grow into the task of manning generation colonization ships.
    This is a well conceived and written work. The children viewpoint in the story takes you into the emotions of teens that have been told from the longest they can remember who they were intended to mate with when the time came. The doctors and engineer struggle with the concept that they have already sacrificed themselves trying to keep the children and the project first. No more spoilers.
    I enjoyed this story enough to get the sequel. Some editing fumbles and too much angst have forced me to grade it down a bit. Awarding four out of five units of book reading pleasure.

    Die grundsätzliche Story, dass Krankheit und Mutationen die Welt zerstören und daher ein Wissenschaftler-Team zur Rettung und Erhaltung der Menschheit gesunde Kinder gezüchtet haben, um sie auf weit entfernte Planeten zu schicken, ist sehr gut. Die Gefahren, die durch die ständige Einflussnahme des heutigen Menschen in natürliche Prozesse entstehen, sind interessant weiter geführt. Doch macht der Autor auch klar, dass das Züchten von Menschen und das Aufziehen dieser Kinder letztendlich in Gefangenschaft zu Problemen führt. Sehr gut, an ein paar Stellen unglaubwürdig, daher nur 4 Sterne.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book
    Reviewed in the United States on 18 May 2013

    This was an interesting take on dystopian / post-apocalyptic society. We basically have kids that are 15 years old and younger, training to become leaders and procreators of a new world. The way they were raised they had to master many adult activities and thus making them act older than their age.

    We could get a sense of Gen from the first page that she has feelings for Adam but she's bothered by them because it's against the rules and she likes to follow the rules. But still she's portrayed as a strong character that cannot be pushed around. Her personality changes or rather evolves through the story. She becomes curious and neglects the rules.

    I got a feeling from Adam right from the start that he's going to cause trouble. But the bad boy kind of trouble not the evil kind.

    We have a butterfly effect but I'm not certain what caused it. Was it Dr. Hossler getting away from the glass dome or Gen and Zeke alerting the lone traveler of their presence?

    I did not expect what happened next. I was actually afraid to read it because I was hoping for a less dramatic ending and at the same time wondering how would Adam and Gen situation be resolved because I didn't want them to end up separated on different ships.

    The book left us stranded not knowing what happened next. It was a great read and I'm reading the sequel for sure.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good begining
    Reviewed in the United States on 24 December 2012

    It's a good beginning to a possibly good book. This is a lengthy intro to the cast of characters and the setup to the real story to come, hopefully. It's short enough that I knocked it out in under 3 hours, and in retrospect I would probably classify it as teen sci-fi. It's an interesting enough plot but nothing much happens until the end. It's well written and edited, dialog and story are clear and unambiguous, but I found myself skipping over much of the teen angst stuff, it couldn't hold my interest. There is little tech in the story, we dont know anything about the ships at all, how they work or where they are going. It was disappointing to get to the end and ask, "is that all there is?".

    5 stars for quality writing, 4 stars for a good story plot, 3 stars for being too short, nothing much happening, and lack of any sci-fi. For the price, I cant complain..

    This was an awesome book. Even though it is technically sci-fi, it could easily be enjoyed by all. It is not so far fetched as to be completely impossible.

    Good, creative plot and an uncommon basis for the book. Sure is nice to not read the same story rewritten by someone else for once.

    Great characters that the reader really gets attached to. Even the somewhat peripheral characters are engaging and memorable.

    Can't wait for the next book, as the ending was a cliffhanger, and sure am hoping Adam and Gen end up on the same ship (just call me a hopeless romantic)!

    I originally wrote this review on my husband's account because I didn't see that he logged me out -_-. *ahem* So I had to put it on mine and re-submit ^_^'...

    2.5?

    I started reading The Eden Project because I enjoyed the concept--humanity's last chance? Planetary relocation? Sounds compelling--and wanted to see where the author was going with it. (Also, I enjoy YA reads...and I'm writing for YA...and I like Sci-fi.)

    I stopped reading The Eden Project about a third of the way through because it just wasn't for me. The main characters weren't repulsive (aka unlikable/unrelateable...if that isn't a word, it should be) or gripping; they simply were. The dialogue was also mediocre, although, in the author's defense, I'm out of the target audience range, so that could explain much of my disinterest.

    One thing the story DID have going for it: I could understand it. Sometimes you pick up a novel and you are baffled about the plot, characters, and/or purpose of said plot and characters for chapters on end. This novel was easy to get from the beginning--though that isn't to say it had no mystery whatsoever. I'm merely saying it wasn't confusing for the sake of throwing the reader off the scent of the plot. I found this refreshing :)

    The Eden Project would probably be entertaining/interesting to pre-teens and teens. As for adults...not so much. There are some really great YA reads out there that, as an adult, I have devoured and loved so much I'd re-read them...but his wasn't one of them.
