About this ebook
Haunting, compulsive, urgently readable...Storytelling genius - INTERZONE
Certain to be one of the most soughtafter books of the year - LOCUS
The planet called Harmony had been settled by humans nearly forty years before. The colony had been placed under the care of an artificial intelligence, the Oversoul, high in orbit. This master computer had one overriding command: guard the people of Harmony.
But now the Oversoul is itself in danger. Soon, within a thousand years, catastrophic war will break out on Harmony unless the Oversoul can be repaired. The master computer has determined that it must be taken back to lost Earth; someone on Harmony must be given back the knowledge of space travel in order to save the planet from destruction. For one family, about to be caught up in an approaching civil war, life will change for ever.
The first book in the brilliant Homecoming series.

But! How can you charge 8 pounds for this book when there's at least one spelling mistake on every page! It's ridiculous!

Whoever was proofreading at Hachette should be fired. It really annoyed me that there were so many typing and grammatical and other errors in this text. I kept wondering how the author would feel to have his work messed up so much? Horrendous editing.
