Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Charlie Bimmy dreamed of a life among the stars. He never expected to find a family, fall in love, or change the course of human history."...a fully original sci-fi mythology...vividly rendered and suspenseful...tonally similar to the Hunger Games and Divergent series...enjoyably akin to works like the Ender's Game novels and Valerian comic series..." - Launchpad Prose CompetitionA thought-provoking adventure for Young Adult and Adult readers alike, who love adventure, technology, and deep questions of self and family.Charlie never meant to change the future. He only wanted to survive.Set in a fractured 24th-century America struggling to rebuild after devastating wars, Beyond Tomorrow's Sun follows thirteen-year-old Charlie Bimmy as he escapes an abusive home and follows an abandoned highway toward the distant ocean. Accompanied only by a stray dog named Katie, Charlie fights to survive across the wastelands of a broken world.At the end of the road, he discovers Arcadia - a thriving technological city built upon hope, innovation, and humanity's uneasy reach across the Sol system.When Charlie rescues the brilliant and impulsive Becca Kiel after her unauthorized journey through a wormhole nearly kills her, the two form an unlikely friendship that will alter the course of human history. As Charlie finds a new home and a new family, he and Becca become drawn into a future far larger than either of them imagined: humanity's first attempt to reach another star system.Blending adventure, survival, friendship, and speculative wonder, Beyond Tomorrow's Sun is the beginning of an epic science-fiction saga about what it means to be human - and what lies waiting for us beyond the horizon.
