English Summary/英文概要： Jarra is stuck on Earth while the rest of humanity portals around the universe. But can she prove to the norms that she’s more than just an Earth Girl?2788. Only the handicapped live on Earth. While everyone else portals between worlds, 18-year-old Jarra is among the one in a thousand people born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Sent to Earth at birth to save her life, she has been abandoned by her parents. She can’t travel to other worlds, but she can watch their vids, and she knows all the jokes they make. She’s an ‘ape’, a ‘throwback’, but this is one ape girl who won’t give in.
Jarra invents a fake background for herself – as a normal child of Military parents – and joins a class of norms that is on Earth to excavate the ruins of the old cities. When an ancient skyscraper collapses, burying another research team, Jarra’s role in their rescue puts her in the spotlight. No hiding at back of class now. To make life more complicated, she finds herself falling in love with one of her classmates – a norm from another planet. Somehow, she has to keep the deception going.
A freak solar storm strikes the atmosphere, and the class is ordered to portal off-world for safety – no problem for a real child of military parents, but fatal for Jarra. The storm is so bad that the crews of the orbiting solar arrays have to escape to planet below: the first landing from space in 600 years. And one is on collision course with their shelter.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 杰拉沦陷地球，而其他人类则周游于宇宙之间。但是她能够证明自己不仅仅是一个地球女孩吗？
公元2788年。地球上住住着残疾人，而其他健全的人则各个星球间飘荡。数以千记的人与生俱来的免疫系统迫使他们无法在其他星球存活，而18岁的杰拉就是其中之一。出生之际为了保全性命就被送往地球，杰拉从此被父母抛弃。她不能前往其他星球，但是她能通过图像检波看到其他星球的人在干什么。她就像一个“猿人”，一个“返祖”人类，但是这个女孩不会放弃生存。
杰拉为自己编造了一个虚假的身世—她是一个军官家庭的正常孩子，并且加入地球上了一个班集体，负责清扫古老城市遗留下来的废墟。一栋破旧古老的摩天大楼突然倒塌，将另外一个研究小组埋在地下，杰拉拯救他们的行动让她成为公众的焦点。现在，她不用躲在班级的后排了。更糟糕的是，她发现自己爱上了班里的一个同学—同样来自另一个星球。无论如何，她必须保持伪装。
一场怪异的太阳风暴奇迹大气层，安全起见整个班级受命漂浮于星球之间—对于一个正常军官家庭的孩子来说，这根本不是问题，但是对于杰拉来说将是致命的一击。风暴太过厉害以至于围绕太阳阵列轨道的人必须逃到下层星球：第一个着落点距离太空600光年。而有人却与他们的守护者发生冲突。(XMM)
