Disconnect by Imran Siddiq (Divided Worlds Trilogy, #1)
Publication date: February 22nd 2013
Synopsis
"In space, love has boundaries."
Dirtying fingernails in sewers is fast approaching worthlessness for Zachary, a 16-year old Underworld scavenger. When footage of an Overworld girl, Rosa, is discovered, his intrigue heightens at why she expresses sadness with a lavish lifestyle.
In meeting Rosa, Zachary is scorned by her opinion of the deprived. She pities him and provides a means for them to communicate. With time, friendship and something he’s never felt grows; love for another human. Knowing Rosa calls him when it suits her isn’t enough; he wants to meet her, but how? Relationships in Underworld are few, let alone the impossibility with those above the ceiling.
Underworld will suffer when plans to conquer Jupiter’s moon, Europa move ahead. Worse is Rosa’s father, a disgraced Overworld ambassador, approving the plan.
Zachary must defeat
the prejudice of the worlds, sneak within opposing forces, lose friends
and challenge Rosa’s sadness. In doing so, a twisted secret is uncovered
that may devour the reason he lives; Rosa.
About the Author
Imran Siddiq may have tried to leave Leicester a few times, but its
become his place to wake up to two cats, freeze when the heating’s off
and most of all, get down to writing. At a young age, his primary school
teacher commented on his creativity and ability to tell stories. At the
age of 29, during a night in the jungle, the bug inside awakened, and
for the last 5 years he’s been sacrificing every second that he can to
write. A veteran of writing festivals, a presence on Twitter and
gobbling up all forms of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, he hopes he
can bring a smile to others in the same way that he had, aged 5, reading
with a torch under his duvet. Imran’s preferred genre is YA Sci Fi, and
he has a tendency to throw a droid in every novel.
