Джанет Эдвардс – лучшие книги

2788 год. Люди заселяют другие планеты и путешествуют между ними при помощи многочисленных порталов. А вот на родной для человечества Земле, пришедшей в упадок, по жестокой иронии судьбы живут только "инвалиды" — люди с врожденным дефектом иммунной системы, не позволяющим находится в других мирах. Одна из них — восемнадцатилетняя Джарра. Лишенная любви настоящих родителей и возможности путешествовать по галактике, девушка намерена доказать, что она ничуть не хуже других.

Спасти мир может только она.

Восемнадцатилетней Джарре приходится нелегко. За участие в рискованной операции по спасению военных она получила высшую из наград человечества и оказалась – вместе со своей инвалидностью – в центре всеобщего внимания. Джарра – одна из немногих, кому не повезло родиться с иммунитетом, не позволяющим выжить на других планетах. И пусть внеземные обзывают ее "обезьяной" и "выродком", Джарра намерена доказать, что девушки с Земли ничуть не хуже остальных. Вот только ее любимой планете грозит опасность из-за чего-то, что может оказаться первой в истории человечества встречей с разумными инопланетянами. Благодаря своим знаниям и отваге Джарра снова в самой гуще событий, но нужна ли Земля другим мирам настолько, чтобы бороться за ее спасение?

It's time to risk it all!

The thrilling conclusion to Janet Edward’s sensational debut YA sci-fi trilogy.

Jarra never wanted to be a celebrity. All she ever wanted was to gain some respect for the people left on Earth: the unlucky few whose immune system prevents them from portalling to other planets.

Except now she’s the most famous Earth girl in the universe – but not everyone in the universe is happy about it, nor the fact that she has found love with a norm. Jarra’s actions have repercussions that spread further than she ever could have imagined, and political unrest threatens to tear apart the delicate balance of peace between humanity’s worlds.

On top of everything, the first alien artefact ever discovered appears to be waiting for Jarra to reveal its secrets. But to do so, she must somehow find a way to leave Earth – or else the alien artefact will be lost forever. Is there a way for Jarra to travel to another planet? Or is her destiny only to look to the stars – but never to reach them?
