Firefight blogged by Victor W.



Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
9 hours

Firefight is a book that takes place in the future. The world is controlled by people called epics, ordinary people who have gained extremely powerful powers, such as precognition, reincarnation, impenetrable skin, and much more. These people rule the world, and they do terrible things, such as killing people and destroying cities. The reckoners are a group of people who try to find epic weaknesses and then take down the epics, in order to return the world to pre calamity. In Firefight, David Charleston is a point gunman, part of the reckoners. He visits the city of Babilar, in order to stop Regalia and Obliteration, and a handful of other epics from destroying the city, and all the people that live in it. But Regalia is a wily and wise epic, she has a trap, and the reckoners fall into it. Now the reckoners have to deal with something much more dangerous, even though they stopped Regalia and Obliteration from destroying the city.

BZRK is the first book the the BZRK trilogy. BZRK is about a somewhat near future earth, where nanobots and nanotechnology has been created. The nanobots were intended for good use, such as in medicine, but when in the hands of The Twins, the nanobots can be used to "wire" people, or brainwash people by using nylon fibers in the brain. The Twins want to create world peace, and a world utopia, where they are the masters. They want to take down the main powers and leaders of the world by wiring them. The Twins are trying to create a world where everyone is happy and no one has any other feelings. But a group of teen hackers creates BZRK, in order to stop the twins. The people in BZRK are mainly just teens, and they have different cells of people around the world. BZRKers have biots, the biological counterpart of nanobots. This is a war in the nano and the macro world.

Water Wars blogged by Nicole H.


Water Wars by Cameron Stracher
3 hours 45 minutes

This time I read the book Water Wars. In summary the book is about a near future where there was a huge war over who gets to control the remaining supply of water in a humongous drought. In the end some organization won (don't worry it's not really important who they are) and every person get the exact same amount of water for every household need. Now this girl Vera has a pretty normal and average life, just the same as anyone else, except the rich people of course, but then one day she meets this boy Kai who's father is rich and they can afford lots of water. Then one day after Kai and Vera have gotten to know each other a bit better he goes and shows something the no one would ever believe. 

 Kai decided to show Vera his family's personal river that his dad found when he was mining one day. Vera was shocked because since they are in a drought a stream is very unlikely to see. But immediately once Kai showed her the stream he made her swear to secrecy because if the government knew about it they would claim it as their own. So she swore to keep it a secret. I will leave you there just so I don't spoil the entire book for you.
