Beschreibung:
Robert DeLaurentis has been a professional television writer for over twenty years on series—including The OC, Umbrella Academy, Alien, and Fargo—where he won a Writers Guild of America Award and was nominated for a Writing Emmy. The Boy from Mars is the inaugural book in a trilogy that includes The Secret Star and The Eightfold Future...as well as the “gateway” to a streaming series.
The year is 2086. The Mars Station, a cold and colorless interior city of ten thousand on the Red Planet is ruled by a ruthless Governor bent on creating a future dedicated solely to scientific advancement. The population includes several hundred children, all of whom have been genetically designed…except for one. Fifteen year old Thomas Knight was the last child born on Earth and sent to Mars as an infant to escape the floods that ravaged the planet. He leads a dull existence on the claustrophobic Station, and lives for the nights when he sneaks out of the segregated Boys' Quarters to break into the Artifacts Museum, where he can feed his obsession with all things Earth-related. Finding an old Webster's Dictionary, he collects mysterious words that form a portrait of the magical planet of his birth.
