Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Enders Game comes a brand-new series following a teen who wakes up on an abandoned Earth to discover that he’s a clone!

Laz is a side-stepper: a teen with the incredible power to jump his consciousness to alternate versions of himself in parallel worlds. All his life, there was no mistake that a little side-stepping couldn’t fix.

Until Laz wakes up one day in a cloning facility on a seemingly abandoned Earth.

Laz finds himself surrounded by hundreds of other clones, all dead, and quickly realizes that he too must be a clone of his original self. Laz has no idea what happened to the world he remembers as vibrant and bustling only yesterday, and he struggles to survive in the barren wasteland he’s now trapped in. But the question that haunts him isn’t why was he created, but instead, who woke him up…and why?

There’s only a single bright spot in Laz’s new life: One other clone appears to still be alive, although she remains asleep. Deep down, Laz believes that this girl holds the key to the mysteries plaguing him, but if he wakes her up, she’ll be trapped in this hellscape with him.

This is one problem that Laz can’t just side-step his way out of.

Come on Orson, what is this?…

I LOVE Orson Scott Card. I have read and reread everything he has written.
He does tend to be hit or miss… much like M. Night Shyamalan. With no middle ground. And every young boy evolving slowly into the same “Ender” character.
But this… this is something else…

It’s written like a student who needed to make an 5 page paper into 25 pages. It’s one giant repetitive rant that could be summed up in one chapter.

A chapter that could have encapsulated all the rest of the chapters which would have been better only told in one chapter in which this could have been summed up, but rather than to do just one chapter, he decided to go longer and not; and instead, took that one chapter which this could have been have easily been done and made it much longer, not summing it up.
