Frustratingly ending on a note of hope and hooks for a sequel Jan Mark never lived to write, this is the sequel to "Riding Tycho".
A young girl, Demetria, has risked death to escape her brutal and claustrophobic home, and is rescued on the brink of death. She slowly learns much about the very different society she finds herself in and the determination of a small group of people determined to resist a growing militarism, corruption and totalitarianism of those in power.
Beautifully-written and observed, this book stays firmly with the perspective of a girl to whom everything is new, confusing and frightening.
