Yes, it's the 3rd book in the Redemption series. Which then goes onto the Firstborn series, then the Sunrise series.

They are all very good books, I couldn't put them down. Definitely worth buying, imo, if you can't find them at your library, and like Return.
Thanks! I am going to see if they have more at the library...it not I will probably llook into buying some! I really enjoyed Return.

I just started Bookends by Jane Green.

Elegy, have you read any others of Patricia Cornwell's in that series? I used to be addicted to those books. Actually, I have a few more of the series up to Blowfly that I need to start.

We is by Yevgeny Zamyatin. Translation by Mirra Ginsburg.

Found the author so I'm adding that.

Love dystopias. Really interesting. Very 1984-esque only it's older, so I suppose 1984 is very much like We. :)

Right now I'm reading His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. I'm also reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick more popularly known as Blade Runner.

I gave up on Anna Karenina for now, that and the Bible at the same time is too much.

I read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (AMAZING!) and now I'm reading Uncle Tom's Cabin

I just finished Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper by Diablo Cody and it was AWESOME! Easy read. Hysterical.

Currently I am working on I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert and God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. Both Christmas presents.

I'm actually doing a lot more writing than reading recently . . . finally.

I am currently reading Bearing an Hourglass written by Piers Anthony. I am, also, reading Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury. :D They are both very well written and VERY enjoyable! :D

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller Jr

I have to say Starship Troopers was really blah for me. I needed more plot! I'm just not into the military stuff, I don't guess. Everyone else loved it, but I didn't much.
