1: Yago gets some
OK,here's the deal;after the events in book 5 Yago finds himself hooked up to Mother,the supercomputer that runs the ship the Remnants have tried to inhabit.Mother reads Yago's memories and creates a computer-generated Washington D.C.Yago then finds himself leading a battalion of computer-generated soldiers against a battalion of Blue Meanies.My favorite scene is where a Blue Meanie "kills" Yago.Fortunately it turns out to be a projection of Yago,made to simulate his death.Altogether Yago played a big part in this chapter of the Remnants' saga.

2: Action movie or book?
i think that this book really picks up the pace in the series. sometimes though, i felt that the author tried to rush things and didn't explain them well. overall though, this book really explain's yago and is one of the better remnant's books. i though think that the first is the best.

3: The Greatest Book of All Time
The Remnants are a group of survivors that escaped from the asteroid that wiped out earth and have been floating in space for 500 years in hibernation. Then they landed on a ship and are now trapped on that ship controlled by a super computer called Mother. They are now going to challenge Mother. The other people that have tried to fight and take over have failed and have now gone crazy. There only hope now is a boy named Billy that has some how been able to create a bond with mother. They also learn through him that Mother is lonely and about the Shipwrights. They have also learned that Mother can create new environments and even new worlds. She can even create a computer-generated earth. But will they survive long enough for Billy to take over?
I thought that this is a great book. This is one of the best-written books that I have ever read. I would suggest reading the others and this one if you???re a Sci-fi fan.

4: Wow, this series is wack
I, personally, thought the 1st book in this series was good, but it seemed that after that, Applegate didn't know where to go with it, but had to write something, and this is the result. I have only read books 1-6, but this is my opinion. I'll stick with this series and see if a general plot ever developes. Right now, I don't reccomend these books.

5: The struggle continues...
The Remnants continue their struggle with a world created by Mother, the powerful computer who seems to have human qualities. The few people who have faced Mother have failed miserably, but the Remnants have one hope, Billy, the kid who stayed awake all 500 years of their journey. He is the only one who has been able to creat a bond with her. From Mother, through Billy, the Remnants learn much about the lonely negelected computer, including the fact that she was made by the powerful Shipwrights. Soon the Remnants figure out that Mother has the ability to recreate Earth too but the Remnants know she will ask something in return. Yago, against many people's wishes, makes a deal with Mother to let her delve into his mind and recreate Earth. In return Yago agrees to destroy the Children for Mother, otherwise know as the "Blue Meanies" A computer generated battle takes place as the projections of Civil War Soliders take on the Blue Meanies. Will the Remnants survive the battle they can't even control?This wasn't one of the best Remnants books and thing definitely got weirder. Some things I felt were a little out of control weird. This book did have some pretty impressive revelations as we get to know the baby's true identity. We also meet 2 new Remnants who have been separated from the rest of the Remnants and held captive by the Children.
