The Resistance, by Gemma Malley

The Resistance, by Gemma Malley
Young Adult, 2008

In this sequel to The Declaration, Anna and Peter find their own ways to help bring down Longevity and the eternal life that current society has so dearly paid for. Peter starts a job at Pincent Pharma in order to infiltrate it and retrieve secrets for the Underground. Anna finds herself consumed by raising Ben, which is particularly hard in a world with no children. As they get closer to the day when they decide to 'opt out', Peter discovers the horror in Pincent Pharma that makes Longevity such a successful drug.
A great sequel, it definitely had many more adult situations than the Declaration. It is apparent that Peter and Anna share much more than friendship, and yet they're only 15. There's also a scene where he drinks some alcohol. It doesn't seem out of place in this book because of the situations, but it's something to think about when recommending it to different age groups. Very well done, and an interesting continuation, I must confess I still liked Declaration better. I believe there is to be a third book at least. Graded a B.
