About the Book

Concluding the saga of The Crisp, Children of The Crisp follows the only remaining human beings from the doomed planet Earth to their next frontier. Guided by an artificial being and the ship´s sassy navigational computer, forty-seven children search for a new home even as their home planet disintegrates in sun fire behind them. Confined aboard the ship at length, this is their story. Readers will laugh and cry, sometimes at once, as a future society hurtles towards an unknown destiny. Once again we are reminded of the saga´s prevailing theme. "The future is always about the children."
