Have you ever hoped you could leave everything behind?

Have you ever dreamt of a better world?

Can a dream sustain a lifetime?

A century ago, an astronomer discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting a nearby star. She predicted that one day humans would travel there to build a utopia. Today, ten astronauts are leaving everything behind to do so. Four of these astronauts are veterans of the 20th century's space-race. And six are teenagers who've trained for this mission for most of their lives. It will take the team twenty-three years to reach Terra-Two. Twenty-three years locked in close quarters. Twenty-three years with no-one to rely on but each other. Twenty-three years with no rescue possible, should something go wrong.

And something always goes wrong.

"It set in an alternative Britain where the future is uncertain due to climate change. A new Earth like planet is discovered, six teens and a group of veteran astronauts embark on a twenty year trip to colonise the new planet. It is a strong character driven story that looks at the future in the most sci-fi way possible; the discovery of a new Earth like planet that could host humans better than our own Earth." - Joelle David
