Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of ETERNITY\u2019S MIND<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 2021, and humanity has been in space for half a century. Giant space stations are hubs of scientific and industrial research, colonies are spreading across the moon and Mars, and sixteen-year-old Mara Duval, born and raised on Tombaugh Station, is training to be part of humanity\u2019s first mission to the moons of Jupiter.<\/p>\n<p>Life is full of possibilities\u2014opportunities denied those deemed unfit for life in space. The unintelligent, the diseased, the mentally unstable, and the criminal\u2014all who have been rejected by the Space Service\u2014are condemned to live their lives on dirt, a planet everyone knows but no one mentions. Every spacer has relatives on dirt, family members who failed to qualify for space. Some are remembered, some are forgotten; but all are left behind.<\/p>\n<p>To Mara\u2019s horror, her parents have mandated she understand her past before she can pursue her future. If she wants to follow her dream to Jupiter, she must leave the safety of space and get to know her uncle, aunt, and cousin confined to dirt. Given no choice, she submits to medical procedures and intense physical training\u2014bracing herself to survive weeks of exile amid violence, disease, and dangers she can only imagine.<\/p>\n<p>But nothing could prepare Mara for what she discovers when she goes down to dirt.<\/p>\n<p>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first book in this critically acclaimed, timely, young adult science fiction adventure that\u2019s sure to keep you riveted.<\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B01HDT14HI <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Evolved Publishing LLC; 1st edition (June 20, 2016) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 June 20, 2016 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 3156 KB <br \/> Simultaneous device usage                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Unlimited <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Not Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 259 pages <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Dirt is for losers. \u201cDOWN TO DIRT is YA hard science fiction with an attitude, full of technical details as engaging as the characters.
