Kylara Vatta is the only daughter in a family full of sons, and her father's only child to buck tradition by choosing a military career instead of joining the family business. For Ky, it's no contest: Even running the prestigious Vatta Transport Ltd. shipping concern can't hold a candle to shipping out as an officer aboard an interstellar cruiser. It's adventure, not commerce, that stirs her soul. And despite her family's misgivings, there can be no doubt that a Vatta in the service will prove a valuable asset. But with a single error in judgment, it all comes crumbling down.

What if you woke up one morning completely transformed into something impossible? What would you do? That's what young Gregory Gourde must decide in Frank Mundo's Different, a fantasy novel for adults that re-imagines Kafka's Metamorphosis and Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Gregory, instead of hiding himself away forever in his room, goes out into the world (and into an alternate reality) on an amazing journey of self-discovery and love.

The world looks the same as it ever was but is changed forever. Having found each other, the tiny group of survivors must stick together as they head towards the coast. Gary, driven by his desire to find Anna and driven to distraction by the necessarily slow pace, pushes the group onward. Danger on the road is just around the corner but the group also need to battle their own fears and the vagaries of the weather to reach their goal.
