Everyone tells Sophie that she was orphaned in a shipwreck - found floating in a cello case on the English Channel on her first birthday. But Sophie is convinced her mother also survived.
When the Welfare Agency threatens to separate her from her guardian and send her to an orphanage, Sophie takes matters into her own hands, starting with the only clue she has - the address of a cello-maker in Paris. On the run from the authorities, Sophie finds Matteo and his network of rooftoppers - urchins who walk tightropes and live in the sky. In a race across the rooftops of Paris, will they be able to find her mother before it's too late?
Hopeful, inspiring and thrilling in equal measure, this is a classic adventure story about pursuing your dreams and never ignoring a possible.

Salvation Earth. A Sci-Fi. Novel by A. K. Boswell Arran kills his
own father to save him from a painful death. Arran is plagued with
guilt for a long time. The novel begins with the impression that it
is set in medieval times but gradually becomes apparent that it is
in the future. A future after world war three. OK, the setting
itself is not original, but has been kept close to plausibility
rather than outright fantasy. Everything is controlled by four big
corporations living in orbit, nation states have gone. The leading
characters are a tribe of samurai like warriors living
self-sufficiently in a wasteland. A local baron and his bully
soldiers, northern warlike tribes and alien descendants. Corporate
agents, believed to be gods, coerce northern tribes to steal food
and lay waste to the land starting a war. The corporations intend
to clear the earth of all life and start again. With the help of a
wizard, our hero finds himself in orbit. Nothing is what it seems.
But with additional help from an android and robots, he discovers a
deeper plot to destroy all humanity. With corporate police, mind
influencing thought police, AI computer, an enchanted sword and a
fight in a virtual world Arran has his hands full. The sword turns
out to be an alien device that inserts a virus into the system.
Background. The planet had become almost uninhabitable. The
corporations had been building space stations in orbit and
evacuated all their people from the surface to continue to expand
in space. Planet Earth was left to decay. Many generations later
saw the survivors with a medieval economy and low life expectancy
due to radiation poisoning. Life as we know it had changed beyond
all recognition. The primitive people that we follow discover they
have multiple problems. On gaining a foothold on the orbitals,
their gains began to be reversed by the Thought Police who could
manipulate emotions. No one knew who was on whose side. All
communications by corporate leaders based on the moon, were carried
out in virtual reality. The purpose of this was to cut time and
travel between the stations. The virtual reality was originally
constructed because life in space was depressing. They could walk
on a green Earth and feel the wind in virtual. This was so popular
that all, important conferences were carried out in virtual and a
whole world created. Before total control was gained, our hero had
to enter the virtual world and defeat the corporate leaders. This
was a new and strange world where anything was possible. Giving
rise, to a series of unusual events. On the final defeat of the
corporations our hero finally discovers an alien threat that had
been getting closer and closer. Adventure and surprise. A
fast-paced, evocative and imaginative novel following the struggles
of a dynamic cast of characters as they navigate an intriguing and
well-constructed plot
