Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
For more than a thousand years, Homeworld has been unchanged: the Great Houses rule, peace between them enforced by unbreakable webs of kinship; the Folk accept what the system offers them – stability, prosperity and peace – and the Indigenes are placid.

Then, on one night of appalling bloodshed, everything changes as the Folk overthrow the Great Houses. Joseph, the young scion of one Great House, somehow survives the carnage. But his home is ten thousand miles away and communications and transport have been destroyed. For all he knows his family may have been wiped out, but his only hope lies in making the epic trek across a suddenly strange and hostile world.

'A simple but evocative narrative'
-THE TIMES

'The Longest Way Home delivers everything the reader in search of an authentic SF "hit" could want'
-STARBURST
