Atherton - The Dark Planet

Long before Atherton, the only fallen paradise was the Dark Planet.

When Edgar discovers a way to leave the mysterious satellite world of Atherton, he doesn't think twice about the dangers that await him. But the Dark Planet is a shocking departure from the pristine paradise he has left behind....

A toxic wind moves heavily through a forsaken wood filled with mutant creatures. A ship patrols the poisonous waves of a dead sea in search of children to enslave. A fallen leader bitterly awaits Edgar's prophesized arrival. And in the gloom of the Silo--where children toil in darkness, controlled by two ruthless maniacs--legends of the smartest boy who ever lived are whispered in the dark: Max Harding... an orphan of the Silo, the maker of Atherton, and the last hope of a dying world.

For Edgar, the secrets of Dr. Harding's unfinished work lie hidden in this shadowy prison, and he must unlock the mystery and complete the mad scientist's spectacular plan, revealing Atherton's true purpose.

In the dazzling conclusion to the epic story of Atherton, Patrick Carman takes readers on the most rewarding journey of all, to the perilous realm of the Dark Planet: Earth. (goodreads.com)

Fantastic finale to the series. I'm kinda sad it's over, the whole series was very interesting.
