'Tales from New Earth': 'Escape From New New York' by Roy Gill |
Five billion years in the future, after the end of the world in the year 5.5/apple/26: New Earth is the second hope of humankind.
Post-Gridlock, Senator Hame is working to restore her home. The cities, forests and skies teem with strange and wonderful species. Some trace their ancestry back to Old Earth, others came later, but all have their own agendas, and their rivalries.
Now an ancient, powerful force has New Earth in its sights, and everyone must work together to beat it...
Devon Pryce has lived all his life in the high rises of New New York. A child of the Elevator Guild, he now receives a new calling - from a cat.
Senator Hame is trying to rebuild society, to make it stronger for future generations, but there are those who would stand in her way.
There is a new danger on New Earth, and Devon's work is only just beginning...
