Capernaum

In a not-too-distant, postwar future, the Earth and Moon have frozen in orbit around the Sun. Life can only sustain beneath sunset. Lantern-clocks keep track of the days, and the Fathers, a group of bureaucratic leaders, control the last remaining society. Capernaum. For sixteen-year-old orphan Franklin Rivers, though, who gives a what? The planet’s stability and corrupt politicians are the least of his worries: He's just been suspended from Millock Academy for hitting a professor and his little sister's missing. Gone. Kidnapped. Now Franklin has to enlist the help of some friends and follow the clues to a place the Fathers forbid...a place where secrets abound...the other side of the Earth... ...where the Sun is stuck at sunrise. "Capernaum is a very fast-paced story with a fascinating and unique plot line. Not only does the novel explore aspects of family dynamics, friendship, bravery and persistence, but it also raises questions of morality, politics, trust, knowledge, and religion." -Typographical Era "Great book for lovers of sci-fi and adventure, and even for people who wouldn't think they would enjoy sci-fi." -thewayhomeblog.com
