Product Description

Product Description

Imagine a planet entirely covered in clouds, imagine an ocean of cloud, stretching away as far as the eye can see, forever shifting and changing, imagine peaks rising out of the clouds, their gentle slopes covered in fields and orchards, imagine a citadel standing on each peak...Heliopolis, a prosperous citadel divided into five layers, its rigid social structure ensuring that it is run efficiently and the citizens know their place. But there is one uncertainty that all Heliopolitans share. What lies beneath the impenetrable sea of cloud? An abyss of nothingness? The fiery realm of the god, Omnium? 14-year-old Pohl is about to find out. Isolated and lonely, Prince Pohl lives in the soulless palace at the very top of the citadel. When his father fails to return from a diplomatic mission, Pohl mounts an expedition across the cloudscape in search of him. But he discovers too late that danger lies closer to home - somebody wants him dead. And when his flying vessel is sabotaged, Pohl finds himself plunged into a terrifying new world beneath the clouds...

5.0 out of 5 stars A superlative book that satisfies the imagination but leaves you wanting more., 4 May 2006
By V. A. WARREN "original bookworm" (Surrey England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would actually give this book 10 stars if there were 10 to give! I was gripped from the 1st page - with the journey for 14 year old Marcus beginning above the clouds in Heliopolis and through the actions of the darstardly Titus falling to the very gloomy cold and frightening unknown world below that was to be a rite of passage from child to man.

I found this book to be very refreshing and exhilerating and come the end of the story wanted more. How dare David Cunninham leave me in the lurch!! I want to know what happens to Marcus, his friends, Heliopolis and the Cloudfarers left behind in the new world. Book 2 if there is a book 2 cannot come fast enough. I recommend this book for ALL age groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book, weird end, 16 Feb 2007
Although the book was very good,i have rarely read a more frustrating end.
It is about this boy who is a prince of this place, but he just wants to be treated like a normalperson and then he and some of his people he doesnt know that well end up in a strange place full of weird people under the clouds.The author Has to write a sequel. I would like more girls next time, i dont usually read books about boys!
This book has a mythological feel, most people(and places) are named after ancient Greek and Egyption myths.
