The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet meets The 100 in this unforgettable debut by a brilliant new voice.
A century ago, scientists theorised that a habitable planet existed in a nearby solar system. Today, ten astronauts will leave a dying Earth to find it. Four are decorated veterans of the 20th century´s space-race. And six are teenagers, graduates of the exclusive Dalton Academy, who´ve been in training for this mission for most of their lives.
It will take the team twenty-three years to reach Terra-Two. Twenty-three years spent in close quarters. Twenty-three years with no one to rely on but each other. Twenty-three years with no rescue possible, should something go wrong. And something always goes wrong.
Don´t miss one of Cosmopolitans books by people of colour to get excited about in 2019, called ´a tightly wound epic´ that ´will change your heart´ by Christian Kiefer, author of Phantoms.
WHY READERS DREAM OF TERRA-TWO . . .
´An ambitious 500-page coming-of-age blockbuster . . .Oh is excellent at portraying the aching sense of loss on a one-way trip to the stars´ Guardian
´A tightly wound , emotional e pic that asks important questions about humanity, goodness, belief, technology, love, friendship, and duty. At what point is grabbing hold of one´s destiny ultimately an attempt to escape some other? Like all great writers, Temi Oh refuses the easy answer, instead ruminating upon the question itself. This novel is a brilliant , beautiful debut . Reading it will change your heart .´ Christian Kiefer, author of Phantoms
