Product Description
Product Description
Babel is the second part of the Peace Child trilogy. Kaleem has found his father and soon finds the love of his life, Rozia Laurence, but he is still not comfortable with his role as Peace Child. He also has to face some of the less palatable truths about his home planet: it is blighted by the existence of the Z Zone, a place where poorer people live outside of society, and by switch-off, compulsory euthanasia for a healthy but aging population, including his mentor, Razjosh. The Babel Tower still haunts him, but it begins to make sense as he uncovers more of the truth about his past and how it is connected with the problems in the Z Zone. Kaleem knows he can and must make a difference, but at what personal cost?

BABEL - myReview
31 July 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Babel is the second book in the trilogy of the Peace Child series. I am starting a bit late - picking up the story on the second part, Babel.
The first thing that struck me was the amount of unique words that the author uses and for a reader just coming into reading it may initially be confused. However, the author has rather thoughtfully added an appendix at the end that has a glossary of terms to help you out. However, the glossary also includes a roll call of the charaters and some world events so it is an essential read to get up to speed and I relied on this to keep me right.
I enjoyed the story and this world in which we find the characters is interesting - people are 'turned off' at a certain age and people are segregated into different sections. There's enough thought gone in to this story other than the the narrative itself that the world, although light years from ours, is so real and in depth that it is a world easy to fall into.
I will read the first novel and I look forward to the third.
If you like your sci-fi well thought out and fancy a good story then you might want to check this out.

stayed up late because I had to finsh before I could sleep. It kept me interested most of the time. Still trying to find out what else is kaleem to do.
Kaleem is living with his grandparents that he just met. His mother and father just got committed together and are living on Zandra planting all the oak trees.
Kaleem meets old school mate Rozia that he had a crush on and they become a couple. Lot of people dont believe is mother story, so Kaleem wants to go to zzone to prove her right. Kaleem also he knows he needs to bringzzone and normal zone together again. He finds his old friends of his mother and him. He trys to learn and fit in the zone. Kevik wants the fame and glory of peace child but he thinks with violence he can bring changes for the better. there is still a lot of questions that I want to know hopefully the third book will be out soon. I was given this ebook in exchange for honest review.
