Deepwater Black (Deepwater, #1)

Suddenly, Robbie Mikkelson has a problem. A dream-state called prexing is zapping him across time and space. Is he a school kid on Earth? Or is he thousands of years in the future, on a giant spaceship called Deepwater? Deepwater is on a course to nowhere. Robbie must look for answers on Earth to the mystery of the spaceship and win his place in a crew of strangely-coloured teenagers, fighting for their lives against terrifying alien creatures in the unknown galactic jungle of Colour-space. Does he belong on Earth or in the spaceship? Is prexing just a fantastic dream? If not, then Robbie must solve the riddle of Deepwater, or he and his crewmates will be lost forever in the black depths of the universe... When Robbie finds himself on board a spaceship battling aliens in a far-off galaxy, he has difficulty deciding if his life on 20th century Earth is the dream or the reality. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary Deepwater is a spaceship crewed by teenagers, their course and mission unknown, but instinct tells them there is an enemy within as well as the terrifying aliens who cross their path
