Season Two of The 100

Tomorrow (October 22) is the premiere of the second season of The CW's The 100.  The story of the return of mankind to an abandoned Earth after a apocalyptic war sounded pretty straight-forward until you learned the new settlers had to contend with those who never left.  With a story set in two locations in the first season - kids on the surface and adults in orbit - you had plenty of political intrigue for all ages.  

I look forward to learning more about Mount Weather this season (without giving anything away).  The show has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing about what lies over the next hill, or mountain.   It is half Battlestar Galactica, half Hunger Games.

And if you want to read ahead, you can always pick up The 100 book series by Kass Morgan.  Here is one reader's review of the book (TeamBellamy, who gave it 5 stars):

WOW! I was skeptical of reading this because I have started watching the tv version of the 100( a must see, but you have to go into it with an open mind because the two versions are COMPLETELY different), but I am sooo glad that I did. The author chose to show the thoughts and feelings of the characters from each point of view,which I thought was very unique and indepth. The whole story is about a group of teenage convicts who are chosed to go down to Earth to test and see if it is habitable( they are the test trials in a desperate attempt to save the human race). Once they land they have to fave their fears of the unknown, and they have to struggle to survive. The whole story is a tornado of emotions with a certain love triangle that will leave you wanting more. . .
