HOME IS 400 YEARS AWAY A Rip in the fabric of time, a far-flung globally warmed future, a flooded Earth and the only remainder of civilisation-a militaristic organisation living underneath 'Desert Amazon'... Getting back home was the only thing that mattered to messed up, mixed race teenager, Blue (named after his stupid, googly blue eyes) - and that was the problem-home was over four hundred years in the past. But how does a lowly cadet in a military academy living in a post-apocalyptic future achieve such a goal, especially with the distractions of girls, pilot training, spacewalks and his almost constant unpopularity? The more Blue found out about this flooded, gung-ho and annoying future, about himself-who and what he was (was he even human?)-and the equally disturbing and shocking truth about his parents, the more he realised getting home was the only solution. Wasn't it? If Blue knew one thing, it was that he would at least try.
