Outward Bound

Fifteen-year-old Linc Marani is from the wrong side of twenty-second century L.A.'s tracks. Everyone he knows is addicted to dope, booze, and the violence that masquerades as bravado in life on the streets. When a chance at some cold hard cash is offered to him by a slick associate in a fancy Cadillac, Linc jumps at the bait--only to find himself sentenced to a juvenile labor camp when the heist goes sour.
Labor camp: To Linc it means an aching, dawn-to-dusk grind--Marine bootcamp-style discipline with no hope of escape or parole. He is about to give up and accept this precisely regimented and miserable future when a mysterious psychologist offers him the chance of a lifetime. Can Linc overcome one of the worst neighborhoods on Earth by proving his worth on a mission beyond the stars?
Outward Bound is the sixth book in the Jupiter series, one of the most enjoyable series being written in the genre today. Patterned after the inspiring coming-of-age novels that Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov used to write, the Jupiter series has laid claim to the same imaginative drive and skillful storytelling that have delighted generations of science fiction readers worldwide.
