The Tampered Gravity Log

About this book

Above a planetary surface poisoned by industrial toxins, twelve-year-old scavenger Joren is swept from the world he understands into Updraft City, a vast anti-gravity platform whose residents glide through neural-controlled corridors and hide their dependence on the people below. Scarred, underprepared, and repeatedly humiliated by station life, Joren begins investigating the official claim that his mother's death was an accident. With the reluctant help of Lira, an eleven-year-old station girl with a forbidden cache of surface tools, he follows damaged gravity records into sealed shafts, old political crimes, and the dangerous machinery holding the city aloft. Told across the present investigation and the platform's violent founding fifteen years earlier, this science-fiction mystery follows two children as they challenge a system built to make its victims disappear.
