Kepler62

Overpopulation has caused Earth's natural resources to diminish, and people are struggling to survive. Thirteen-year-old Ari is looking after his little brother, Joni, who has fallen ill with a mysterious virus. The boys manage to get hold of a copy of Kepler62, the newest computer game that everyone's talking about and which is supposed to be almost impossible to complete. Working together, the brothers manage the impossible and they soon discover that Kepler62 is more than just a game. It's an invitation-for an adventure, to the outer reaches of our solar system.

Overpopulation has caused Earth's natural resources to diminish, and people are struggling to survive. Thirteen-year-old Ari is looking after his little brother, Joni, who has fallen ill with a mysterious virus. The boys manage to get hold of a copy of Kepler62, the newest computer game that everyone's talking about and which is supposed to be almost impossible to complete. Working together, the brothers manage the impossible and they soon discover that Kepler62 is more than just a game. It's an invitation-for an adventure, to the outer reaches of our solar system.

Children from all over the world are trying to complete the video game KEPLER62. Marie, the fourteen‐year‐old daughter of a wealthy arms manufacturer in Norway, uses unorthodox methods to win. But what is her prize? Marie is flown to Area 51 in Nevada, where she's recruited into a select group of children who are leaving Earth to investigate and settle on a faraway planet believed to be capable of supporting life. Marie is advised not to go on the mission, but it's no longer her choice.

The children who have been selected are about to be launched into outer space to look for new worlds that may support life. Once they lift off and are on their long journey, Ari starts hearing something calling out to him-something that seems to be on board the spacecraft. When he asks those in charge about it, they avoid giving him a straight answer. Ari can't help but suspect they haven't been told the full truth about the tasks that away them on their voyage.

Only two of the space vessels reach their final destination, but the lush, green planet that they land on is more suitable for life than anyone could have imagined. It's like a paradise compared to the barren Earth they left behind. Once the children start building their base camp they find traces of other forms of life. Will they be friendly or hostile? Meanwhile, Ari and Marie are becoming increasingly disillusioned by Olivia's secrecy surrounding the mission. And when Joni falls ill, the children look for help elsewhere – with disastrous results.

In book 5 of this outer space adventure series, Olivia finally reveals the truth to others, and it's terrifying. Back on earth, computers are gaining power and they're already unstoppable. They're capturing people, their main competition when it comes to energy consumption, and killing them. In order to survive, a viable number of people must escape earth - and Kepler62 is their destination of choice. Unfortunately, the Whisperers are deemed too powerful to exist alongside humans, which means they need to be eliminated before any more people arrive. Joni, who is carrying a virus that shall wipe them out, is chosen to complete the task. But Joni goes into hiding. Meanwhile Ari and Marie also discover that the extra travel capsule on their space craft is now open and empty. Whoever travelled in it is now awake and on Kepler62 . . .

After reaching the distant Kepler62 planet, Ari, Joni, and all the others at the basecamp is consumed by panic. The weapons cabinet is empty and the virus antidotes have gone missing. It's clear that the mysterious extra passenger is to blame, but who is it? It's not long before the children find out that they've been used as nothing but a means to an end. Now they must take flight and fight for their survival. Just as all seems lost, a surprise hero emerges with an army in tow.
