Life on Dirt — Kevin Killiany
Dirt is for rebels.
Sixty yearsago the United States Space Service was created and empowered to protect thepotentially unlimited knowledge and wealth of space for the benefit of thewhole of humankind. Guardians of fusion technology and everything above theatmosphere, the Space Service controls the flow of people, materiel, andinformation between Earth and the space stations, Luna, and Mars. Everyone inspace is bound to the Space Service, and all spacers belong to theService-mandated racial elite.
The Space Service owns the stars--and it does notintend to share.
Seventeen-year-oldMara Duval, born in space, was destined to be part of humanity's first missionto the moons of Jupiter, until a medical accident left her quarantined on dirt forever.
But dirt isnot the blighted wasteland she'd been taught it was, and the Space Service isholding humanity's future hostage behind a wall of lies. Now Mara is fightingback by transmitting videos of the truth to friends in space, speaking out whenevershe can, and sharing technology and secrets with her Dirt ally Jael Alden, ayoung visionary determined to break through the Space Service's racial barrier.
She knows she doesn't have much time before the SpaceService realizes what she's doing and stops her. But until they do, Mara'sgoing to make the most of her life on dirt.
"Life On Dirt is jam-packed with indelible characters and lush prose that makes you think of such top-tier 'coming of age' tales as The Dark Beyond the Stars and The Testament of Jessie Lamb, and the kind of tech-heavy and often biting first-person narrative that might make Andy Weir smile." Dayton Ward, NYT Bestselling Author, "Star Trek: Headlong Flight"
"Kevin Killiany's delightfully immersive writing sucks you right into the characters, their situation, their location, and their lives. A most compelling read." Keith R. A. DeCandido, Author of Novels in "Star Trek," "Supernatural," "Sleepy Hollow," and More
Evolved Publishing presents the second book in Dirt and Stars. This young adult science fiction series features an alternate history adventure sure to keep you glued to the page.
