Terra: Book 1

Mitch Benn

No-one trusts humanity. No-one can quite understand why we're intent on destroying the only place we have to live in the Universe. No-one thinks we're worth a second thought. And certainly no-one is about to let us get off Rrth. That would be a complete disaster.

But one alien thinks Rrth is worth looking at. Not humanity, obviously, we're appalling, but until we manage to kill every other living thing on the planet there are some truly wonderful places on Rrth and some wonderful creatures living in them. Best take a look while they're still there.

But on one trip to Rrth our alien biologist causes a horrendous accident. The occupants of a car traveling down a lonely road spot his ship (the sort of massive lemon coloured, lemon shaped starship that really shouldn't be hanging in the sky over a road). Understandably the Bradbury's crash (interrupting the latest in a constant procession of bitter rows). And in the wreckage of their car our alien discovers a baby girl. She needs rescuing. From the car. From Rrth. From her humanity.

And now eleven years later a girl called Terra is about to go to school for the first time. It's a very alien experience...

Billy Martin loved science fiction. But SF has had it. Two years ago, the girl Terra came back to earth, having spent most of her life on an actual factual alien planet., Science Fiction is kind of beside the point once it's come true. And then even Terra disappeared. Billy's only friend Lydia doesn't really understand, but then she hasn't lost everything. But now a new girl has arrived at school, and she loved the dead genre of SF every bit as much as Billy. And she seems really interested in Billy, too. Things are looking up. But Terra didn't disappear. She just hid. But the time for hiding is over. Something awful is happening back home. Really awful...
