After Earth: Kitai's Journal

It's been 1,000 years since humanity evacuated Earth. I never thought I would see our ancient home, but here I am. My father--Cypher Raige, the greatest Ranger in history--is trapped in our crashed ship, and only I can save him.

Kitai Raige is determined to become a Ranger, like his father before him, and defeat the vicious alien predator that tore his family apart--but his recklessness keeps him from advancing, and a surprise trip with Cypher is Kitai's last hope to salvage their relationship.

After an asteroid storm damages their ship, Kitai and Cypher find themselves stranded in a hostile world. Kitai may not be a Ranger, but to save his injured father, he'll have to do what no one else has: journey across the most dangerous planet in the universe . . . Earth.
