Does The 100 The Book Have A Sequel Or Prequel?

Question

As a fan of the post-apocalyptic The 100 novel series, I’m curious if the author wrote any continuation beyond the first book or prequel stories expanding the lore.

That book '100' by Kass Morgan is a complete story and doesn't have a prequel or sequel that has been published as a novel. However, The 100 is a TV series that continues the story. Lately I have been reading a standalone story with quite unexpected power dynamics. It is called 'A Queen Among Alphas' and it is about a human queen trying to survive in a world ruled by werewolf alphas. The plot is very tense and it is centered on the queen's political cunning as opposed to brawn. The story is a complete novel and it can be read on most major web novel platforms.

I read ‘100’ by Graham Rak by download a few years ago and I recall getting so deeply into the world created by the author that I was left wanting more after the end of the book. As it stands, ‘100’ is a standalone novel and therefore there is no prequel or sequel; however there are currently a number of spin-off novellas and companion novels, plus the author has recently hinted at writing more side stories which will reveal events from different characters’ perspectives in order to further explore the ‘100’ world.

If you are interested in more books like 100 I would suggest reading The Hunger Games or Divergent, both are part of a longer series in a dystopian world where the main characters have to fight for their lives. Although the book 100 doesn’t have a direct sequel the story itself stands on its own and is very powerful and shocking without any unnecessary continuation of the story.

I finished reading ‘100’ about a week ago, and now that I’ve finished it, I wish there were more. I mean, that’s one BIG cliffhanger. Sadly, I learned that there are no sequels or prequels to ‘100’. BUT, The 100 author (_Buddubuddie_ on Twitter), has alluded to more things set in the universe of ‘100’ in the future. No promises, but I can hope, right?

It’s really interesting to read through all the different fan theories on forums etc and how people try to piece together all of the characters’ backgrounds and come up with their own endings to the book. There are even a few continued stories that have been written and they can be really enjoyable to read if you’ve finished ‘100’ and want more.

Until I find another book that matches this one I shall have to rely on other similar books like ‘Legend’ by Marie Lu and ‘Scythe’ by Neal Shusterman for now. These two books are definitely high-stakes with great complex characters just like ‘100’. But despite there being no direct sequel to ‘100’ it’s definitely influenced a lot of other books in this genre.

'100' was an absolute favourite of mine. The ways in which.
.
After finishing ‘100’ I immediately searched for more. Alas, there is no sequel or prequel to the novel. What the author has written in the way of companion pieces to ‘100’ are ‘The Book of Kane’ and ‘Rebirth’. These explorations of some of the secondary characters from ‘100’ offer interesting insights into some of the events and situations from the novel that have not been fully described.

After finishing ‘100’ I immediately began searching for more books by the same author, unfortunately ‘100’ does not have a sequel or prequel however there are companion pieces to the book written by the same author such as ‘The Book of Kane’ and ‘Rebirth’ which focus on some of the secondary characters and recreate events in the book from an alternate perspective.

If you can’t get enough of the book, you might enjoy The Maze Runner series or The 5th Wave, both of which follow young people trying to survive in the face of an apocalyptic world. While 100 is a standalone novel, its legacy will continue to be felt through works like these, and spark the same kinds of discussions with fans that the book has.

Libraries can also be very useful in determining if a book is part of a series. When you borrow a book from a library, you can check the library’s catalog to see if it is part of a series. The MARC records that librarians use are very detailed, so even if the book’s cover doesn’t say “Book 1”, the library’s database entry may list it as volume one of a series if it exists. Also, if you search for a title by an author in a library’s catalog and there is only one entry for that author for that title, then that is a good indication that it is the first book in the series. If you have a library near you or even have access to a library’s online catalog, then you should search for your book to see if it is part of a series. Librarians have solved many a series mystery for me.

For example on some ebook stores “100 (The 100 Series Book 1)”. It is a classic case of keyword stuffing by retailers or the publishers’ digital departments trying to catch searches for the very famous series “The 100” written by another author. As a book buyer you have to be very careful. A book with the title “100” could be written by any author not Kass Morgan, so if you search for her series it will return incorrect results for other books. I have contacted customer services about this in the past and it is rarely fixed. You have to be a detective when buying ebooks.

Lorena · Answer

Most sequels are riskier than prequels, since they can diminish the original work. The novel ‘100’ does a wonderful job of portraying a sense of history and of past events which remain unsaid. If someone were to write a prequel about ‘100’, then all these allusions would be translated into concrete events. And it’s likely that the reality wouldn’t be as wonderful as our imagination. What we imagine about the ‘Before Times’ of a particular book is almost certainly more interesting than any actual back-story that the author could come up with. Some mysteries are better left as mysteries. The fragments of information that we do have are more than sufficient to allow our imaginations to construct our own version of events. A prequel would stifle that.

I know of one market where the book was released under a different title. A quick search found a copy in Canada under the title The Hundredth Day. So if you’re searching for a copy in English, you might want to try searching for synonyms for the title, or even how the title might be translated into another language. “Century” or “One Zero Zero” might be just as good a search term as “The Centuries.” The long shot might actually yield results for the published edition, which would be the same content but a different ISBN number. The discussions and reviews for that edition would be particularly useful, as it would not have the sequel that this version does not have.

Thanks for the long read everyone, I can now scavenge through it for the general consensus rather than undertake the exercise myself. Thanks for your time, I shall now just read and enjoy the book for what it is, rather than what it isn’t. This was excellent crowd-sourced research and I thank you all for it. Now to put that to one side and progress to the next book in my pile. Cheers.

Your question seems so simple. How can one number be used for the title of so many different books? “The 100” is a series of young adult dystopian novels, “100” is a standalone novel, “One Hundred” is a memoir, “A Hundred” is poetry, and there is even “100:” with a subtitle. After much searching, I was never able to find a complete list of all the books with this title. Without the ISBN or the author of the book you are looking for, it seems we are left to flail about hoping to stumble upon the right book. Does the book you are looking for have a cover with a person on it? A symbol? A landscape? Even the color of the cover could be enough to give us a clue in this list of “100s” with mostly generic covers.

Antonia Flores · Answer

Use the author's name + series order + bibliography for these search tips. If you don't know who the author is, search for the exact title of the book and add in a unique phrase from the description or even a character's name. That will filter out most of the other '100' books and often you'll end up on Goodreads for that book. On that page you can then click on "Related books" and see a list of all the works by that author. If the only entry under "Book 1 in the..." series header is for the book you're looking up and that series contains no other books, then it appears that book was mis-categorized as part of a series and is actually a standalone work.
