Book Overview
Ship hurtles through space. Deep within its core, it carries the seed of humankind. Launched by the people of a dying Earth over a century ago, its mission is to find a habitable world for the children--fifteen-year-old Zoheret and her shipmates--whom it has created from its genetic banks. To Zoheret and her shipmates, Ship has been mother, father, and loving teacher, preparing them for their biggest challenge: to survive on their own, on an uninhabited planet, without Ship's protection. Now that day is almost upon them...but are they ready to leave Ship? Ship devises a test. And suddenly, instincts that have been latent for over a hundred years take over. Zoheret watches as friends become strangers--and enemies. Can Zoheret and her companions overcome the biggest obstacle to the survival of the human race--themselves?

Couldnt remember the title, but I found it!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I remember reading this when I was younger, and today I racked and racked my brain trying to remember the title. After MANY google searches I finally found it and not only that found out there was a new book put out. SCORE. I'm going to get them both because I loved Earthseed and want to see what Ms. Sargent has in store for us next!!!! YEAH
A Pretty Good Read!

First of all, I am NOT a young adult - as this book is obviously written for. But, as a die-hard Pamela Sargent fan - I had to read "Earthseed". Although the story is more-or-less simplistic - it's still a rather good read - and I would suggest it to anyone (young or old) who enjoys reading Pamela Sargent. Ms. Sargent has a unique and wonderful writting style - and I would advice anyone to read her novels.
The BEST Sci-Fi Book EVER WRITTEN

When I read this book, I knew this was THE book. It touched me, but not really. In accordance, I would reccommend this book to everyone, not just people who like Sci-Fi.
Earthseed Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I'm a 12 year old Sci-Fi reader, and my friend recommended this book to me, so I read it and loved it! The plot is so Captitizing, and when you think it needs a better ending, you think back over everything you've read, and say "It's good enough."
Slow to start but is great at the end.

One of my favorite books ever is "Earthseed", by Pamela Sargent.The book is about a group young adults who were born and raised on a space ship,called Ship.Ship is like their parent and cared for them since they were born.The book opens when they are about 16 years old and soon they will be leaving Ship to settle an uninhibited planet in a far away galaxy.The book goes into detail about all the main characters,including Zoheret,the protaganist.Things start to pick up when they move to a simulated Earth to experience what life will be like on their new homeworld.Soon the groups splits and anarchy breaks out.I don't want to divulge the rest of the plot but after this happens theaction doesn't stop 'till the end.Some scenes are violent and there is also romance in this great Sci-fi book
