'Babel' is the second book in Gill James' Peace Child Trilogy. It contains a full glossary, explaining the language of the hero Kaleem's home planet - Terrestra. Kaleem has found his father and Rozia, the love of his life, but is still not comfortable in his role as the Peace Child. He also has to face facts - Terrestra, his home planet, is divided into technologically-advanced 'normal' zones such as his own and the Z Zone, where excluded people live in abject poverty. Not only that, but 'switch off' for older people is compulsory, even when they're healthy - and that includes Kaleem's mentor, Razjosh. Haunted by dreams of a black tower, Kaleem must make sense of his past, whilst standing up to some fearsome forces in the present. He can and must make a stand against the Z Zone and switch-off - but at what cost to himself - and to Rozia?
