BABEL
Gill James
ISBN 978-1-907335-10-5
Kaleem has found his father and the love of his life, Rozia, but he is still uncomfortable with his role as the Peace Child.
He also has to face facts - Terrestra, his home planet, is divided into technologically-advanced 'normal' zones, such as his own, and the Z Zone, where excluded people live in abject poverty.
Not only that, but involuntary euthanasia, or 'switch off', is compulsory for older people even when they're healthy - and that includes Kaleem's mentor, Razjosh the Elder.
Haunted by dreams of a black tower, Kaleem struggles to make sense of his past, whilst facing up to the fearsome forces ranged against him in the present.
He can and must make a stand against the existence of the Z Zone and switch-off, but at what cost to himself - and to Rozia?
