Two rips in time. One chance to survive. Dive into the future before the past disappears forever.
Blue is a screwed-up teenager with too much anger and nowhere safe to put it, until he is ripped through time to land on a drowned Earth 400 years in the future. The world has burned, flooded, and rebuilt itself into a ruthless, militarised civilisation beneath the desert that used to be the Amazon.
Trapped in The Academy, a machine-like school run by a regime he does not trust, Blue is a glitch in a society conditioned to ignore him. While they hammer him with lethal pilot simulations and missions that go wrong fast, he is chasing the only thing that still matters: a way back home.
But between the cockpit and the crushing weight of daily humiliation, Blue begins to uncover truths he was never meant to know about the regime, his parents, and the 'accident' that sent him into the future. Then he learns the most dangerous secret of all.
He might not be entirely human.
As the enemies close in and the truth dismantles everything he thought he knew about his family, Blue must decide what matters more: a past that no longer exists, or the power to burn the future down.
To protect his loved ones, Blue will have to first survive the Academy. But getting home will cost him everything, and time does not give second chances.
Blue Into the Rip is a gripping YA sci-fi time-travel adventure about a young, angry hero who refuses to stay lost.
