\"bookPreparing to flee dying Earth<\/a>,
\nonly the wealthy 1% may go,

This dystopian novel begins with privileged Cam’s stealthy views of Lowerworld economic protests (he must find that golden-eyed girl!) leading up to the corporation-run Upperworld’s elite space migration program<\/a> launch (slated only for the wealthiest, naturally).<\/p>\n

Sofie’s eloquence convinces Cam to help her make the case for allowing some Lowerworld people to go on the Otherworld colonization ships.<\/p>\n

But the thousand-year space journey ends elsewhere than mission designers planned! Sabotage?<\/p>\n

And what’s attacking them?
