Genre

Young-adult

dystopian
science fiction
post-apocalyptic

Published by

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

The 100 is the first novel in , a series of post-apocalyptic science fiction series by American author Kass Morgan.

The novel is set approximately 300 years after a nuclear cataclysm rendered the Earth uninhabitable. Humanity, however, has survived for generations on three large spaceships: Phoenix, Walden, and Arcadia.

With life support on the ships dwindling, 100 prisoners under the age of 18 are sent down to Earth to find out if it has become survivable.

"No one has set foot on Earth in centuries - until now."

Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on spaceships far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents -- considered expendable by society -- are being sent on a dangerous mission: to recolonize the planet. It could be their second chance at life...or it could be a suicide mission.

Clarke was arrested for treason, though she's haunted by the memory of what she really did. Wells, the chancellor's son, came to Earth for the girl he loves -- but will she ever forgive him? Reckless Bellamy fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister, the other half of the only pair of siblings in the universe. And Glass managed to escape back onto the ship, only to find that life there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.

Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope.

Clarke Griffin is a seventeen-year-old ex-medical apprentice from the ship Phoenix. She was arrested for treason and continues to be haunted by her actions. We learn through a flashback, a frequent media throughout the book, that Clarke's parents, two of the most brilliant scientists on the ships, violated the Gaia Doctrine by experimenting radiation exposure on children while under order of Vice Chancellor Rhodes. Rhodes threatened to have Clarke killed if they didn't obey. Once Clarke finds out, she befriends one girl in the ward who weakens as the radiation exposure increases. Weeks later, Clarke finally gives in Lilly's demand to help her die. This haunts Clarke throughout the entire first novel. She blames Wells Jaha for the death of her parents, as not hours after she confided her secret about the experimentation of radiation exposure on children, Wells rushed to his father, the current Chancellor, to tell him the news. As Chancellor Jaha was unaware and the Vice Chancellor Rhodes denied any implication in the matter, both of Clarke's parents were executed. As the security system showed that she had access to the lab, Clarke was also voted guilty by the council and sent to Confinement.

Wells Jaha's mother died of an unknown illness months before the 100 mission, a time during which he falls in love with Clarke. Once he hears about the plan to send 100 juvenile delinquents, including his girlfriend Clarke, he sets the Eden Tree, the only sapling saved from the planet prior to the Exodus, on fire to be sent to Earth with her. He is the only one who is truly aware of the problems with the resources on the Colony.

Bellamy Blake's mother gave birth to her second child when he was six years old. His mother became paranoid as Octavia Blake grew bigger as having a second child was forbidden and would lead to her own execution. When Octavia was found, both she and Bellamy were sent to the Care Center for orphans. Octavia is arrested for stealing pills to help her sleep although her brother believes it was for stealing food for smaller children. After hearing that the 100, including his sister, would be sent to Earth, Bellamy fights his way onto the launch ship accidentally shooting Chancellor Jaha in the process. On earth, Octavia steals the medicine box that Clarke needs to save Thalia, dying of blood poisoning from a wound . Once she confesses her crime, Graham wishes for her to be executed but Wells convinces the others to banish Octavia and Bellamy. However, before they can be actually banished, the encampment goes up in flames.

Glass Sorenson is a seventeen-year-old Phoenician resident, best friend of Wells Jaha. She fell in love with a Waldenite, Luke. Given that Walden is the poorest station on the Colony, their love was forbidden. Through various flashback, we find out the reason behind her arrest: an unwarranted pregnancy. She loses the baby during her arrest. While in jail, Luke had no idea she was interned. During the commotion created by Bellamy's attempt to get on the launch ship, Glass succeeds in escaping. She returns to Luke and later to her mother. Due to her mother convincing Vice Chancellor Rhodes, Glass is pardoned for her crimes but soon comes to realize the dire situation the Colony actually is in. The first book ends with Glass' fate unclear as Walden is suddenly shut off from Phoenix due to a lack of oxygen with Glass inside.

The book ends with a fire ravishing the Delinquents' camp. Thalia dies in the flame. Bellamy realizes that Octavia has gone missing right before the fire occurred. Clarke and Bellamy set out to find her. In the camp, Asher is suddenly hit by an arrow. The 100 realize they are not alone.

The novel has been published in multiple editions in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audiobook form. The English audiobook is narrated by Phoebe Strole.

This article explains the difference between the tv series and the books.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you watched the pilot episode of , you were probably hooked instantly, and have come close to salivating at the promise of a thrilling new episode each week on The CW. This show is non-stop action, and the show's writers are not afraid to shake things up and kill off major characters. Each episode has crazy twists and turns, and you never really know what kind of threat is lurking in the surrounding forest. And before you look to the source material for a short-cut, the books that is based on are very different from the TV series.

If you thought you could read all three books to see what's coming up next on the show like in Game of Thrones, you were wrong. The show and the books have gone down vastly different paths, and you can only really speculate as to whether any of the book's storylines have crossed over into the TV series. There are a few main characters who are featured in both, because how could you really have a show and book of the same name without at least a few similarities? But there are several characters in the show that do not exist in the books, and a couple in the books that aren't in the show. Kass Morgan, the author of the book series, has discussed how much she likes changes the show's writers have made, but as a fan of both, it's hard not to wonder why some of the coolest storylines were omitted from the show. Here are the most glaring differences between the two.

1. Clarke

In the books, Clarke is one of four main characters who shares their POV on being a delinquent sent to Earth. She has training in the medical field, and that becomes very useful once on the ground. And both of her parents were scientists, who were executed for going against policy.

In the show, she is much more of a leader, and a ruthless one at that. She was originally locked up as an innocent girl who just knew too much, but in the books, she is arrested and convicted of treason. And there isn't a broken bond between her and her mother, as Abby has a huge role on the show and not in the books.

2. The Missing Characters

If you watched The 100 first, then it'll crush your soul to learn that Finn, Raven, Murphy, Charlotte, Jasper, and Monty are not featured in the books. I mean, how can Finn not be there when he has such a major storyline with Clarke? I know. It's kind of bananas.

In the books, there are a few characters who never left the page. Glass is one of the four main characters and just before she is sent to Earth with the others, she escapes and stays on "The Colony," aka The Ark. Her character provides the POV of life in space as the Colony begins to run out of oxygen. Other major characters missing from the show are Thalia (Clarke's BFF), Asher, and Graham.

3. The Story Of Wells

Wells dies very early in Season 1 of the show, but he lives on in the books. There he got a spot on the ship because he loves Clarke and can't be away from her. They are in a committed relationship when they land on the ground and their love story continues with obstacles and breakups throughout. He is actually the main authority figure amongst the 100, instead of Clarke. And instead of Octavia, he is the one to have a relationship with a Grounder.

4. The Innocent

In the show, Clarke and Octavia are unfairly kept in prison for being victims of their own circumstances. In the books, Clarke is actually guilty of treason.

And Octavia has an even sadder existence in the books than in the show. She was kept hidden in a closet, like in the show, but only until about the age of five. After that, she lives in the Colony's orphanage and has some traumatizing experiences there that lead her to suffering from PTSD and an addiction to pills. She gets arrested for stealing pills and that's what gets her a spot on the ship. When they land on the ground, Octavia is only 14 years old. And even though she does get kidnapped by the Grounders, there is no romantic relationship and no steamy cave sex.

5. The Power Of Bellamy

Shippers of Bellarke (myself included) will be happy to know that Clarke and Bellamy are romantically involved in the books. There's a love triangle with Clarke, Wells, and Bellamy, and even though she's very hot and cold with Wells, Clarke shares a steamy kiss with Bellamy in the forest while looking for Octavia.

The show makes Bellamy seem like a ruthless thug at first, but he is much more docile in the books. Even though his will to survive and protect the ones he loves has remained strong, he has calmed down quite a bit. Maybe that's an indication that a sexy moment for Bellarke is coming soon on the show? Let us pray.

6. The Grounders

First of all, in the books they aren't even called "Grounders," they are called "Earthborns." And they don't even show up until the very end of the first book. There is no war between the two groups, and the Earthborns have always known about the "sky people."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After the three books that inspired the hit CW show, Kass Morgan's The 100 series is getting another installment, EW can announce exclusively.

Titled Rebellion, this fourth installment sees Bellamy and Clarke at odds as to how to save their captured friends, Wells, Octavia, and Glass - who are slowly being brainwashed by their religious fanatic captors.

Check out the book's official description below. Rebellion hits shelves December 6. Following that, on January 3, 2017, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will release a boxed set of all four books in The 100 series - so you can binge them all before diving into the show, or vice versa.

Centuries after nuclear war destroyed our planet, humanity struggles to rebuild. It's been a month since the dropships landed and the Colonists joined the Hundred on the ground. The teens, once branded juvenile delinquents, are now leaders among their people.

The Colonists and the Earthborns are celebrating their first holiday together when, to everyone's horror, they're attacked by a group of strangers whose unusual battle cries fill the air. The newcomers kill scores of people, seize prisoners, and pillage crucial supplies. When hotheaded Bellamy and his analytical girlfriend Clarke discover that Wells, Octavia and Glass have been captured, they vow to get them back at all costs. But as they go after their new enemies, Bellamy and Clarke find themselves increasingly at odds, unable to agree on a plan to save their friends.

Meanwhile, Wells, Octavia, and Glass are being slowly brainwashed by their captors, religious fanatics with one goal: to grow their ranks and "heal" the war-ravaged planet... by eliminating everyone else on it.

But centuries of radiation exposure have taken their toll, forcing the cult to take drastic steps to survive. And unless the rescue party arrives soon, the teen captives will face a fate more terrifying than anything they could imagine. In this thrilling fourth installment, the hundred fight to protect the people they love on the dangerous planet they always dreamed of calling home.
