Description: It is two thousand years into the future and people on Earth live in underground cities. Teenage Andra is recovering from a brain graft operation, and something very strange occurs. She begins to see the world form the viewpoint of the boy whose brain was used in the operation-a boy who died in 1987.
Suddenly Andra feels frustrated by the rigid laws and narrow confines of life in Sub-city One. She rebels openly against the strict society and becomes a symbol of freedom to the youth of the city. Together with Syrd, a young computer technician seeking asylum from the hostile country of Uralia, she stirs the young people into open rebellion.
Will their quest for a more natural environment and a democratic society be a success? Louise Lawrence's stirring novel is a compelling look at the need for freedom, and the power of youth.
