About this ebook
A “gripping” sci-fi fantasy, “distinctive characterizations remain complex and depictions of both [planet] worlds are exceptional. A welcome follow-up” (Booklist).
From the Endeavor Award–winning author of The Silver Ship and the Sea
The colony planet of Fremont was supposed to be free of all genetically altered beings—a new home for a pure race. So when six genetically altered children were abandoned on Fremont, they found themselves unwelcome and vowed to get off the planet by any means necessary. Joseph and the others managed to escape, although Joseph finds their new home hostile, frightening, and deeply challenging. Chelo is left behind with her new-found love, Liam, and her best friend, the troubled Kayleen. Both sets of teens must contend with hostile adults, daunting environments, and unexpected challenges. And when Chelo’s very life is threatened, Joseph must find a way to save her.
Praise for The Silver Ship and the Sea:
“An engrossing tale of six young outsiders growing up on a colony planet . . . This is an adventure story . . . But it is also a story about the relationships between insiders and outsiders . . . between people who need each other in order to survive.” —School Library Journal
“Fast-paced and full-bodied, The Silver Ship and the Sea is character-driven hard SF at its best.” —The Seattle Times
