When you live in a building thata??s a mile in diameter and 3,000 stories high, life tends to be pretty predictable, even if it isna??t easy. At least thata??s what 14-year-old Jeff Bowman thinks until everything he knows turns completely upside down. In the year 2715, Jeffa??s father decides to remarry. Now Jeff must face the prospect of life with a stepmother and a stepbrother that he hates. Making matters worse, Jeffa??s father states that he is taking his new family to colonize a distant planet, shattering Jeffa??s dreams of joining the Space Corps and becoming the Chief Engineer of a starship. On the trip across the Federated Alliance, a disaster strikes and tosses their ship far across the galaxy to a region of space where humanity has never ventured. Jeff is soon separated from his family and stranded on a planet by himself. Beset by new and bizarre dangers, he must learn to survive on his own. Thata??s when things get really weird. Night after night, Jeff has dreams of an old friend who tells him that she is contacting him telepathically. Claiming that she has merged with alien life forms, she gives Jeff cryptic warnings of dangers to humanity and tells him that he too is now a host for alien creatures that grant him powers far beyond those of normal humans. Struggling against a hostile universe, Jeff must reach out to rescue his family, as well as many others who were stranded in space in the disaster. With his newfound abilities, Jeff faces the challenge of First Contact with aliens from another universe and an impending species war. Thus begins The Children of the Sky series, which documents the transition of humanity in the Second Age a?? the age in which we finally discover that we are not alone.
