Oh...I thought you said you did, I must have misheard you. Ok, so, this may take a bit.

Imagine a world hundreds of years from now where slavery is common. People are taken from their homes by aliens (atm unnamed) and sold to the upper classes as slaves. People are under the impression that it's a fair business -- everyone is a possible slave, and so people live in fear, but get on with their lives. However, the system is corrupt, and what the higher-ups of the world decided with the aliens years and years ago was that the aliens could take only the poor and homeless. Middle class if they had to, but never -- NEVER the upper classes.

Edie Simon is a fifteen-year-old girl with a fifteen-year-old girl life: an annoying (but lovable) little sister named Dot and an equally annoying (but nowhere near lovable) older brother, Greg. Then, Dot gets taken. Edie's parents are heartbroken, but have to get on with their lives. After all, there's no help for Dot now. Edie doesn't think so. (Greg is determined to side with their parents, even if he knows he'll end up siding with Edie in the end). Edie meets her town's friendly hobo, Jonathon Zesch, who knows more about what's going on and the corruptness in the government than any civilian should, and he promises he knows how to get her sister back. She believes him and sets up weekly meetings and Greg comes along to make sure Jonathon won't rape her or get her addicted to crack or anything. They proceed to have adventures.

I'm thinking a trilogy -- each one in a different main's point of view. The first one is about getting Dot back and the beginning of the war between the people and the government, from Edie's pov. The second is about the war mostly and from Greg's pov. The third is about life after the war (aka: I haven't decided yet) and from Jonathon's pov.

whaddya think?
