Description
Jarred awake after twenty-three years in a life-pod on colony-ship Nova, Celeste discovers she’s the only survivor - a trillion miles from home. Celeste knows no one will cross the entire universe to save one life. She is alone forever save for the company of a maintenance bot called SVIMON.
Stella is testing a light-speed ship in 2057. It’s the only chance they have to save Celeste. On her return, the Moonbase has vanished. Florida is no longer flooded. Cities across the world still shine at night. None of this is possible since climate change and nuclear war. Landing on Ochee Island, she discovers trees instead of a space research platform. Stella overwhelmed by her first experience of Earth gravity is rescued by three space geeks, Gerry, Kali and Jolene, out hunting aliens.
It’s Millennial New Year’s Eve 1999. Stella accidentally went back in time 57 years. Saving Celeste just became the biggest longshot of all.
*Aimed at 12 + readers and unusual for sci-fi it about girls in space (although there's one boy for light relief). It's also topical about climate change and our responses to it.
