The Legacy by Gemma Malley

4.0

Peter, Anna, and Jude are among the few young people left in the world after the drug Longevity allowed people to live indefinitely. As the world population grew those on Longevity were no longer allowed to have children, and few opted out. The Underground movement is fighting back against this drug, but it's a slow battle. In the final book of Malley's trilogy it's been close to a year since Peter and Anna went into hiding in the country. While Anna and the children are thriving Peter is finding it hard to be away from the action. Meanwhile his half-brother Jude is longing to prove himself to the leader of the Underground, Pip, and he hopes to finally move out from behind the computer to really make a difference. Meanwhile people begin dying in droves, and the Underground is blamed, leading to riots in the street. It's up to those loyal to the Underground to figure out what is happening before it's too late.

The novel switches between several characters, but mostly focuses on Jude as he struggles to find his place in the world. The fast paced story leads to a satisfying conclusion with a few surprise thrown in along the way.
