Year 998 P.E. (Post Earth)A thousand years ago humans destroyed the Earth.Dead. No life. Gone.We now live in thirteen Arks orbiting the dead planet, hoping it will someday recover and support life once more. One point three million people are all that is left of the human race, one hundred thousand per Ark. No more, no less, closed loop, until the Searchers find us a new home.Miya is just like any other teenager on Ark Three – school, weekend job, and spending time with friends until she turns eighteen. Then she, along with thousands of other young women and men of the same age, will face Selection. In the blink of an eye, Oversight will assign her a job for life – and a husband, tasked to produce a child in their first year of marriage, and exactly one more after that.She knew why she had to do it. Few people liked Selection, but the alternative was far worse.However, what should have been a standard Selection was anything...

Year 998 P.E. (Post Earth)They say that each of us are tested, every day. On the recovering Earth, that can be as simple as basic survival, one day at a time.Eighteen-year-old Miya and her companions have rescued Thomas – only to be rescued themselves by the mysterious fire-spitting drones sent by Oversight.Where are they being taken, and why?Their questions remain stubbornly unanswered as Oversight asserts its influence once more.Miya had been hunted by wild beasts and lived to tell the tale. But when they arrive at their destination, Miya soon realizes that survival in the wilds was nothing compared to what she faces next.For she will be tested to her limits, and someone else's life – or death – hangs in the balance.

Year 998 P.E. (Post Earth)The Earth is dead.Or is it?Searchers have spent centuries looking in vain for signs of recovery on the Earth below, and for hospitable planets out amongst the stars.Day in, day out, analysing the endless streams of images that Oversight brings them, looking for the tell-tale green of life.Until one day, eighteen-year-old Miya sees something else. Something that shouldn't exist on the dead planet below. Something she isn't supposed to see.Running for her life, Miya flees the Ark to the inhospitable planet below. But inhospitable doesn't necessarily mean dead. There's life. She had seen the signs. Unless the picture was a fake, then she'll be dead soon enough.
