Rude Awakening — Robert C. Waggoner

A unique look at what the future might hold for humans. It's part utopia, part possible and certainly believable. Four special university students enter a sleep study to awaken to a world without any people remaining on planet Earth. An alien plan gave humans a second chance in life. They demonstrate how humans are adaptable in any environment. What began as a humanitarian gift of life turns into a self serving purpose of the aliens who transferred the entire population of earth, except for four test subjects, to another solar system. The highly advanced alien civilizations lack a human trait. The newly arrived humans applied common sense, which the aliens lacked. This novel looks at all levels of social life and by choice, eliminates the greed and power of the few who decide how the ordinary citizens should live.
