Nikolas and Company: The Merman and The Moon Forgotten
"And now Nick lay there frozen by the tazer. He couldn’t move his head, not even his eyes. All he could do was watch at the edge of his view as his best friend shook fitfully, and then slowly, and then not at all.
Jermaine died.
He had only one thought from that day on. I’m getting off this planet. Earth. I'm going to Möon.
And I’m taking my friends with me. "

Sometime in the near future, Earth is going to end. Fourteen-year old Nick Lyons and his friends fear the deadly geneva virus, live under the ever-watchful eye of the nannydrones, and fight to stay out of the US’s many refugee camps. Nick’s grandfather and his mysterious wheelchair bound friend offer an escape to a better world: Möon. This fantastic world is teeming with life-breathing airships, mysterious volcano born nymphs, fire-breathing winged lions, and magic at the tip of your tongue. Nick convinces his friends to journey to this new world, promising a better life. But when a dark creature begins to stalk Nick’s friends, he soon discovers the fantastic can be more perilous than the future.
