One Sunny Night Charon Dunn

It's 3748. Most of the disasters have already happened, long ago. The climate has changed; the meteors have impacted; the plagues and scarcity have been vanquished. It would be almost utopian except for a handful of people still holding grudges about a war that ended years ago ... and one particularly unlucky trouble magnet of a teenager who goes by the name of Sonny Knight. Sonny starts out with some good luck, winning a trip for his family and friends to see the clashball playoffs in Vanram. When terrorists attack the stadium and take all of the spectators hostage, Sonny escapes with a pack of unlikely acquaintances, aboard an old-fashioned sailing ship made of the only kind of bioengineered wood that can survive the deadly stretches of caustic, anoxic ocean. Many obstacles lie in Sonny's homeward path, including volcanoes, tsunamis, arrogant clones, pliosaurs, cattle stampedes, train wrecks, knee surgery, and his first date. This is volume 1 of the "Adventures of Sonny Knight" trilogy."One Sunny Night is a well-written tale of adventure, exploration, and a growing understanding of how the world works. The world-building is very creative, and adults readers will enjoy the politics that Sonny finds himself in, where everyone has an opinion of what he should do...and doesn't always consult him in the process." -- Book Review Directory
