    Holden Heads to Space I COULDN’T TELL YOU HOW I ENDED UP THERE even if I tried. There were these two government officials, dressed in their suit and ties and all.

    The 100 is the first book in a trilogy by Kass Morgan. It was published in 2013 and the following two books were published in 2014 and 2015 (Day 21 1).

Therefore, one would think that season one would be very similar to the first book, and the same goes for the next two seasons and books. The books would always be published before filming for the next season so the directors could follow the books.
