Book excerpt: In a not-too-distant, postwar future, the Earth and Moon have frozen in orbit around the Sun. Life can only sustain beneath sunset. Lantern-clocks keep track of the days, and the Fathers, a group of bureaucratic leaders, control the last remaining society. Capernaum. For sixteen-year-old orphan Franklin Rivers, though, who gives a care? The planet's stability and corrupt politicians are the least of his worries: He's just been suspended from Millock Academy for hitting a professor, and his little sister's missing. Gone. Kidnapped. Now Franklin has to enlist the help of some friends and follow the clues to a place the Fathers forbid...a place where secrets abound...the other side of the Earth... ...where the Sun is stuck at sunrise.
