Cherry Heaven
by L. J. AdlingtonKat and Tanka J. are starting over. The New Frontier is nothing like war-stricken City Five -- no battle scars, no memories of their parents. It's a perfect society, where everyone lives in harmony. Or so they say. There's me, the ghost in the glass, and there's everyone else on the warm side of the windows. If you're really quiet, you'll hear me creeping in the shadows. Someone else is starting over, too, running on a path perilously close to Kat and Tanka. Can the two girls and their friends uncover the dark secrets of the New Frontier before the unthinkable happens? The last birthday I ever had, years ago, was the one where I got shot instead of presents. I wasn't killed before and I won't get dead now. Run, run as fast as I can, can't catch me cause I got a Plan! Don't anyone get in my way.
Cherry Heaven
by L J AdlingtonIt is 10 years after the events in The Diary of Pelly D. A new life in The New Frontier overseas beckons Kat and Tanka, far from the terrible war in the cities, that took their parents. In a beautiful new home, Cherry Heaven, where people are building a young, liberal society, without focus on the genetic categorization and discrimination that led to the war. But all too soon Kat and Tanka find that Cherry Heaven carries haunting marks of the past. They cannot run from them, and must finally and turn and face them. Again, L. J Adlington weaves her narrative expertly from two voices, Kat, teenage, light, modern and knowing, the other a disturbed, fragmented narrative from another girl which peals away the surface of the New Frontier to expose a different and more disturbing truth. Exploring issues of postwar guilt and redemption, tension and reconciliation, framed in a fast-moving mystery, this has the same engrossing readability and accessibility as Pelly D.

Though welcomed into the galactic community and given access to the combined knowledge of thousands of intelligent species, humans are largely regarded as an evolutionary mistake. Reptilian, insectoid, and other unclassifiable species are the dominant forms of intelligence. If it hadn&’t been for that annoying comet, the dinosaurs would have continued their evolutionary journey to sentience. Instead the ridiculous mammalians survived. And they want to be treated as equals. Now the humans find out that the Galactic Encyclopedia has a user fee—and they are overdrawn! If the debt can&’t be paid, humanity will be sold as slaves . . . or food. Asst. Liaison Officer Yake Singh Browne feels personally betrayed. He comes up with a strategy: If humanity can&’t win playing by the rules of the game, he&’ll just have to change the rules. Game on! &“Taut and well-constructed, providing a convincing glimpse of alien biology and psychology . . . A good yarn.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“Gerrold has written a fine but demanding science-fiction novel . . .
