Now on sale, the 2024 Page Turner Award finalist Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun by Ronald McGuire.
“a fully original sci-fi mythology…vividly rendered and suspenseful…tonally similar to the HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT series…enjoyably akin to works like the ENDER’S GAME novels and VALERIAN comic series…” – Launchpad Prose Competition, 2022
Charlie never meant to change the future. He only wanted to survive.
Set in a fractured 24th-century America struggling to rebuild after devastating wars, Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun follows thirteen-year-old Charlie Bimmy as he escapes an abusive home and follows an abandoned highway toward the distant ocean. Accompanied only by a stray dog named Katie, Charlie fights to survive across the wastelands of a broken world.
At the end of the road, he discovers Arcadia — a thriving technological city built upon hope, innovation, and humanity’s uneasy reach across the Sol system.
When Charlie rescues the brilliant and impulsive Becca Kiel after her unauthorized journey through a wormhole nearly kills her, the two form an unlikely friendship that will alter the course of human history. As Charlie finds a new home and a new family, he and Becca become drawn into a future far larger than either of them imagined: humanity’s first attempt to reach another star system.
Blending adventure, survival, friendship, and speculative wonder, Beyond Tomorrow’s Sun is the beginning of an epic science-fiction saga about what it means to be human — and what lies waiting for us beyond the horizon.

“a well-written science fiction story that doesn’t lose sight of the humanity of its characters…[with] mirrors of The Great Depression…[and] hints of the classic western…the world-building in this novel is excellent.” – ScreenCraft 2023 Cinematic Book Competition
