Young Adult Science Fiction
I wonder which situation is hardest.
Mine, because I remember everything, or hers because she
can’t. Planet Novo, nestled in space twelve hundred miles above
the
surface of the Earth, is the new home of 17 year-old Cadet
Ariana Skyee. Forced to flee to Novo two years previously—
to
avoid the succession of natural disasters which have
ravaged
Earth—Ariana and her family are part of the chosen few who
have been carefully selected to share in this new
existence.
Other survivors reside in a technology deprived
post-apocalyptic America; under the constant scrutiny of
the
ruthless regime, and deliberately kept in the dark about
life on Novo. The new government is strategically focused on the
continuation of mankind and development of Novo society.
They consequently announce the introduction of a televised
e-pageant, ‘The Calling’, which compels every seventeen
year
old into impending marriage and parenthood. Devastated at the removal of her free will and forced
abandonment of her desired military career; Ariana grows
increasingly alarmed at the authorities apparent
pre-occupation with her. As a series of tragic events tear
her family life apart, Ariana feels progressively more
isolated and alone. Her growing feelings for much-admired, fellow Cadet Cal
Remus, intensify as ‘The Calling’ gets underway. Hot-
headed,
but fiercely loyal and protective, Cal shares knowledge
which appears to indicate that the fragile fabric of their
new society is disintegrating in front of their eyes. Confused by the government-sanctioned memory erase—which
has
stolen her memories of those left behind on Earth—Ariana
is
struggling to comprehend the continuous, inexplicable
dreams
of the mysterious Zane. Discovering the past helps shape her future, with
devastating personal consequences.
