When the 1% and the 99% clash, the fate of the human race hangs on the actions of two teens from very different backgrounds in this thrilling sci-fi adventure. In the Upperworld, the privileged 1% are getting ready to abandon a devastated planet Earth. And Cam can?t wait to leave. After sleeping through a 1,000-year journey, he and his friends will have a pristine new planet to colonize. And no more worries about the Lowerworld and its 99% of rejects. Then Cam sees a banned video feed of protesters in the Lowerworld who also want a chance at a new life. And he sees a girl with golden eyes who seems to be gazing straight though the feed directly at him. A girl he has to find. Sofie. When Cam meets Sofie, she opens his eyes to the unfairness of what?s happening in their world, and Cam joins her cause for Lowerworld rights. He also falls hard for Sofie. But Sofie has her own battles to fight, and when it?s time to board the spaceships, Cam is alone again. Waking up 1,000 years in the future, Cam discovers that he and his shipmates are far off-course, trapped on an unknown and hostile planet. Who has sabotaged their ship? And does it have anything to do with Sofie, and the choices?and the enemies?he made in the past? Cam will need to get answers if there?s to be any future for the human race in this riveting story that looks at our own world through the mirror of a different, distant future
