Awe of Mercury by Elon Dann
How many escapes until freedom? Mo is a penitent on the Death Spiral, a subterranean, circular death row. Far above the Spiral, the Fartherland - his home - has disintegrated into an appalling civil war. Mo vows revenge, but each escape is a step into an even more horrific reality than before.
Clockwise to Titan is an amazing read for young readers about friendship, adventure and survival from a talented debut.. Expect more great things from this author. * We Love This Book (Praise for CLOCKWISE TO TITAN) *
Elon Dann grew up in rural Lincolnshire, where his childhood was one of 'sensational boredom and ordinariness set against eye-strainingly wide fields of barley on which V-bombers cast triangular shadows'. Television educated him, although he did attend the local grammar school for appearance's sake. At eighteen he left Lincolnshire for Manchester, where he studied Physics and idolised Bertrand Russell and Kurt Vonnegut.
After a spell of being an academic, Elon has worked in various IT jobs. He now lives with his wife and two children in Worcestershire. At the weekend he enjoys voluntary litter-picking, 'sifting through the cast-off waste of society like a lanky Womble'.
