Jamey and his sister, children of a scientist who opposes the vice president, must escape Earth after the president dies under suspicious circumstances. However, their adjustment to life on the moon is complicated by the power-hungry vice president's plans to invade their new home for its resources. A plausible future and a suspenseful plot make for an engaging read despite awkward chunks of exposition.
