None of them wanted to leave Earth. It might have been nightmarish, but it was all they knew.
Gary wanted to concentrate on his exams in hopes of leaving the CityBlock and its bullies far behind. Kailee wanted to become an actress. Darrin merely wanted to live. But when the three teenagers win a competition, they find themselves taking the trip of a lifetime, a voyage to a colony world where they can see how the colonists live.
Meridian is very different from the dark and dismal CityBlock, a place where they can make a new beginning. But it also houses dangers, dangers that their education on Earth didn't even begin to prepare them to face, dangers governed by the cold equations of survival. And when disaster strikes, they find themselves forced to fight for their lives - or die, alone and unloved, thousands of light years from home.

A political rant with a very thin story arc - worst in the series so far By Andrew Pollack This is the worst in an otherwise generally readable series. In terms of the story in the series, this has only the most very loose ties to the overall storyline, and the only mention of previous unresolved plot lines is in the prologue and then again in the epilogue -- as if to promise us that he'll eventually get back to the story when he's done ranting.In this installment, Nuttall returns to the writing style of his much earlier books, in which a thin story arc is used as an excuse to write page after page describing all the worst aspects of living in the sort of nightmarish world of central management and socialist policies that libertarian extremists tend to warn us about. Not ten minutes goes by during the entire book where this political rant isn't refreshed. Eventually, a lucky few get dragged out of their socialist dystopia and and landed on an idealized colony run the way a 15 year old interpretation of Ayn Rand's "John Galt" might fantasize. The colony is a place where honor and personal responsibility are enough to keep a modern society going without a need for courts, problems are immediately solved with corporal punishment, and every sane person walks around armed all the time so they can enforce their own moral law. There are fully justified cases of parents spanking or thrashing their kids for misbehavior -- and I'm not talking about 5 year olds, we're talking about a late-teenage boy that is spanked by a parent hard enough to be sore for a couple of days -- and a case where a "bad kid" is turned into a "good kid" by means of a public lashing (being literally whipped in a public square). I'm increasingly convinced the author is not entirely sane.If you're a 15 year old libertarian that's just finished reading "Atlas Shrugged" and spends his time arguing that the 2nd Amendment (in the U.S.) is the only part of the Constitution that matters, you'll love this book. Otherwise, the only reason to pick it up is to keep going with the series and frankly, you could skip this one and not miss a single step forward in the ongoing story arc.

Good story, preachy libertarianism aside By Amazon Customer If you took out the constant libertarian preaching and are willing to suspend disbelief for the wet-dream liberal dystopia he has made earth into you would only have half a book. But it would still make a pretty good page turner of a novella.Other reviewers have compared mr Nuttal to Asimov and Heinlein...please spare me the fanboy rhetoric! There are no ground breaking social ideas here, no new insights to human social behaviors. These are well written space operas provided as a HUGE soapbox for mr Nuttal to beat us over the head with his politics from. He even goes so far as to provide undisguised political monolouge in the last few pages.Good stories, yes I like them. Great author, I think not. I double dog dare mr Nuttal to write a full book length story without any brickbat politics.

By Charles Almond I've now read all of the published Empire's Corps books available, and I have to say that I find each one incredibly insightful for its particular social topic, not to mention Mr. Nuttall spins an incredible story. I'm a professor in a public community college, and this stand-alone book's focus on education is incredibly insightful and poignant. Each book looks at society from a different perspective, and offers insight into the worst and the best we have to offer - not to mention they are all fantastic stories with fantastic characters. I read a lot, and I have to say that overall this series is the best I've read in years!As for the one review that lists two stars due to "too much gratuitous sex," well, that is what hedonists do! That was part of the danger we may face if things ever devolve to what society is like in the empire - when all people do is focus on the here and now with no thought to consequences or responsibilities, then that is exactly the kind of behavior that you can expect! I thought it fit the story and the pretext well.
