HARPER VOYAGER PAPERBACK
HARPER VOYAGER AUDIOBOOK Narrated by NURA NASH
2788. Only the handicapped live on Earth. Eighteen-year-old Jarra is among the one in a thousand people born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Sent to Earth at birth to save her life, she has been abandoned by her parents. She can’t travel to other worlds, but she can watch their vids, and she knows all the jokes they make. She’s an “ape,” a “throwback,” but this is one ape girl who won’t give in.
PYR HARDCOVER (C) Himitsuhana Cover Design by Nicole Sommer-Lecht
Jarra makes up a fake military background for herself and joins a class of norms who are on Earth for a year of practical history studies excavating the dangerous ruins of the old cities. She wants to see their faces when they find out they’ve been fooled into thinking an ape girl was a norm. She isn’t expecting to make friends with the enemy, to risk her life to save norms, or to fall in love.

I just discovered that the audiobook is going to be released in November 2nd. I am so happy! I hope the others will follow soon.

Yes, this is the HarperCollins audiobook so it may not be available in the USA. I knew they were aiming to release the audiobook in November. I haven’t been screaming about it in case there were last minute delays, but I think the release date must be pretty solid by now. Initially it’s just the audiobook for Earth Girl but hopefully the others will follow.

I love this series!
I have a question that I think might be unanswered.
What colour is Jarra’s impact suit?
Thanks!

Great to hear that you love the books. The domes are equipped with standard, black impact suits. Jarra’s initially using one of those. The gift impact suit is the default metallic silver in colour. It can be sprayed to customise the colour but Jarra doesn’t get round to doing that. Partly because there’s a lot happening. Partly because her appearance isn’t high on her priority list. Later she has a Military blue suit.

Have you ever thought about selling merchandise such as pins or shirts?

That’s on the maybe in the future list, but I’d have to check legal stuff like contractual and image licensing issues to work out what would be possible.

There has been some interest in the past. As in the vast majority of cases, that didn’t end up making it to the screen, but it’s not totally impossible that something will happen again in future. It would be fun if it did.
