The Tomorrow Code by Brian Falkner


Teenage friends Tane and Rebecca receive messages from their future selves warning them that they must stop the Chimera Project to avert an ecological disaster. With Tane’s brother, Fatboy, the teens frantically try to decipher the messages and figure out what they are supposed to do to stop the catastrophe that has been set in motion by scientists who have inadvertently created a cloud of organisms programmed to destroy mankind.


A timely eco-thriller that readers will find hard to put down, The Tomorrow Code presents a frightening picture of how mankind’s quest for scientific knowledge could lead to our own destruction. The teens’ path is unbelievable at times (buying a house and a submarine by themselves) but the storyline is intense and the cloud of creatures feels like something out of a Stephen King novel. The ending is fascinating and will leave readers wondering if something like this could really happen.

Personally, I love this book! It is a sci-fi slash comedy slash mystery. I think that it is suitable for Ages 9 to 16.
