Inhaltsangabe

After being expelled from school, sixteen-year-old Natalie Hutchings finds herself on a sailing adventure with her dad. But in the middle of the Pacific, far from land, something impossible crashes into their boat - something not from this world.

Two strangers emerge from the stricken craft with a warning, a request … and secrets about a mysterious power source that could change everything.

As powerful forces close in, determined to keep the truth buried, Natalie is thrust into a deadly game of lies, technology and survival.

To save two dying planets, she must risk everything - before it's too late.

_____________

A science-fiction action-adventure novel for young adults, ages 12 and upwards.

“The novel combines eco-fiction, science thriller, and emotional coming-of-age in a way that feels both epic and intimate. The themes of climate anxiety, lost potential, and human connection feel timely and powerful. It’s a story that speaks to real-world fears while offering a sense of wonder and hope… something rare in modern sci-fi.

Natalie Hutchings is an incredibly well-drawn teenage protagonist: fierce, curious, and flawed in all the right ways. Her grief and frustration make her believable, and her journey from anger to empathy gives the book its emotional backbone. The father-daughter dynamic is beautifully handled.

Blending environmental realism with cosmic speculation is bold, and it works. The book feels like Contact meets The Hunger Games - ideal for readers who want science fiction that still cares about humanity.”
