Day 21 (Novel)

Day 21 is the second novel in the post-apocalyptic science fiction series The 100 by Kass Morgan.

Summary
It's been 21 days since the hundred landed on Earth. They're the only humans to set foot on the planet in centuries...or so they thought.

Facing an unknown enemy, Wells attempts to keep the group together. Clarke strikes out for Mount Weather, in search of other colonists, while Bellamy is determined to rescue his sister, no matter the cost. And back on the ship, Glass faces an unthinkable choice between the love of her life and life itself.

In this pulse-pounding sequel to The 100, secrets are revealed, beliefs are challenged, and relationships are tested. And the hundred will struggle to survive the only way they can — together.

Plot
The novel begins with a Wells chapter and continues straight from where The 100 ended. Earthborns killed Asher and now Wells is taking care of burying him. After the fire ravaged their camp, he uses his architectural knowledge to have everyone build wooden cabins that should be able to contain everyone. However, Graham and his girlfriend take possession of one and many of the younger children are left outside, fearful of being attacked once more. Wells stands guard during the night.

We move on to Clarke who is searching the woods with Bellamy for his missing sister Octavia who seems to have been taken by force at the end of The 100 prior to the fire that burned down the camp and killed Thalia. Once they finally find the trail, Bellamy kisses Clarke in happiness. Clarke worries about the level of radiation on earth as she remembers one key factor from her parents' research: the patients all got considerably sicker on day 21. She worries that the low level of radiation on earth is slowly affecting their blood cells hence why the Colony are not sending anyone down yet.
