      Book Overview

      Martin lives in a perfect world. Every year a new generation of genetically-engineered children is shipped out to meet their parents. Every spring the residents of his town take down the snow they've stuck to their windows and put up flowers. Every morning his family gathers around their television and votes, like everyone else, for whatever matter of national importance the president has on the table. Today, it is the color of his drapes. It's business as usual under the protective dome of suburb HM1. And it's all about to come crashing down. Because a stranger has come to take away all the little children, including Martin's sister, Cassie, and no one wants to talk about where she has gone. The way Martin sees it, he has a choice. He can remain in the dubious safety of HM1, with danger that no one wants to talk about lurking just beneath the surface, or he can actually break out of the suburb, into the mysterious land outside, rumored to be nothing but blowing sand for miles upon miles. Acclaimed author Clare B. Dunkle has crafted a fresh and fast-paced science-fiction thriller, one that challenges her characters -- and her readers -- to look closer at the world they take for granted.

      Sky inside, world outside

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Having reinvented the whole mythos of fantasy's goblins and werewolves, Clare B. Dunkle now turns her attention to sci-fi. In fact, there's something almost eerily prophetic about "The Sky Inside," a look at a sterile, soulless world where babies are genetically designed and populations are kept in an iron grip. Rather than dumping all the horrors on us at once, Dunkle slowly unfolds the secrets of this futuristic civilizations...

      Thought provoking

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Clare B. Dunkle has done it again! This time, she goes from the past to the near future, to a world where everyone lives in a domed suburb, where people are encouraged to spend money, where a few shades of 1984 peek through. I highly recommend this book for anyone who thinks for themselves, and who enjoys a good, fast-paced story that starts twisting and turning more frequently as the story picks up steam and barrels along...
