简 介 　　太阳是一个巨大的燃烧着的火球。没有来自太阳的光和热，我们就不能在地球这颗行星上生存。在这颗行星周围有臭氧层保护着我们免受太阳之火的伤害。但是如果臭氧层破裂，将会怎样呢？现在臭氧层上已经有了小洞，有人说那些小洞会变得越来越大——直到有一天再没有任何东西挡在我们和太阳的火焰之间。 　　事情发生在2222年。地球人制造了AOL——人工臭氧层。美丽的地球又有了1000年的生命。树又发芽了，下雨了，河里有了水…… 　　但现在是2522年，人工臭氧层已经破裂。幼嫩的树林开始枯萎，河流也逐渐干涸。凯和瑞拉从他们的宇宙飞船里看到了这危险的情景，可他们又能做些什么呢？月亮下面的部族里住着他们的朋友，可是路途遥远，而地球首领高格又不肯听从他们的指挥。 　　本书的作者罗维纳·阿金耶米是英国人。曾在非洲居住和工作了多年。现在她在剑桥工作和生活。 1 AOL 　　Five hundred kilometers over Europe，Ship OM-45 moved north．In a room at the back of the ship，Kiah watched the numbers on the computer in front of him． 　　‘Time for dinner，’Rilla said． 　　The numbers changed quickly and Kiahs eyes didnt move．Rilla went across the room to his table．She began to watch the numbers，too． 　　‘Whats wrong with the satellite？’she asked．She was a beautiful girl，about twenty years old，with long black hair and big eyes． 　　‘Nothings wrong with the satellite，’Kiah answered quietly．‘Its the AOL．’He began to write the numbers in the book on his table． 　　Suddenly，the numbers stopped changing．Kiah looked at Rilla．‘Over Europe，’he said．‘Its happening．The AOL is breaking up．There are big holes in the AOL and theyre getting bigger．’ 　　‘Youre right！Shall we see Captain Seru now，before dinner？’ 　　Kiah stood up．He was nearly two metres tall，with dark eyes and hair．‘Yes，come on，’he said． 　　Quickly，they went to Captain Serus room．They waited at the door． 　　‘Come in！’captain Seru called．She was a little woman with a fat face．‘Come in！Would you like a drink？’ 　　‘No，thank you，’Kiah answered．‘Id like you to look at these numbers．’Kiah gave Captain Seru his book． 　　Captain Seru looked at the numbers．Suddenly，her face changed．‘No，no， ’she said．‘I dont want to talk．Its late and Im tired．Sit down and have a drink．’ 　　Kiah and Rilla sat down．There was a big window in Captain Serus room．Kiah looked out of the window at the dark sky．He saw the Moon．It was cold and white in the dark sky． 　　‘Captain Seru，’he began．‘Its important．Look at those numbers carefully．The AOL is beginning to—’ 　　‘Stop！’captai
