What is The others about?
Ergo, with his secateur fingers and his green twine hair, can see no way out of the Underhill system, designed for the privileged Others of Air City. But by a freak of fate he meets Wenti, a girl who comes from the Others, but is troubled by the injustice of the system they have created. Falling in love with Wenti makes Ergo's dream of creating a more equal world seem almost possible. But the dangers are terrible. Will Dr Klops use his lethal powers against Ergo's mother? Is the cool Inspector Kanchu of Air City playing a double game? Ergo is plunged into a fight for his life, and for the survival of everything he values. In this fast-moving adventure story, set in a post-nuclear-holocaust age, Alison Prince captures the horror, and humour, of this new world and has made Ergo a hero of universal appeal.
