AUTHOR AND TITLE: Unknown, would like to find out.
PLOT:
Modern day Earth, astronomers detect an asteroid or something big heading towards Earth. When it becomes public everyone panics. A random group of people are picked to go on a hastily modified space shuttle with experimental cryogenic cells (which put them to sleep). The plan is for the government to launch it in space in a random direction and hope it finds another planet and survives (not one of our planets in the solar system). One of the survivors is the son of one of the scientists or developers or something, and requires his family to go along with the survivors.
So the ship lifts off shortly before the impact of the meteor, I believe it is not stated what happens to Earth. Everyone goes to sleep I think. The main character (scientists? son) wakes up and so does everyone else. They have crash landed somewhere. They think it is some kind of planet, as it is huge and I believe looks like Earth?? It actually turns out to be a huge ship with a super computer type thing controlling it. The computer somehow tries to recreate Earth with a twist I believe, not sure whether it uses a person or the ships computer? When they crashland, they are attacked by something and head to a big black tower I believe?
Events after that are shady in my memory, then picks back up when they are living on the "land" building things back up trying to lives their lives. They are then attacked again by the things. I remember someone or a group of the survivors travelling "under" the created landscape, in search of the computer or bridge. Events after that are shady again.
They get back to Earth, how I do not remember, but they do. Earth has become a barren wasteland? They meet a "tribe" like group of humans, who have apparantly decended from the survivors of the impact, I'm not sure how much time has passed. I explicitly remember a tribes girl saying "jou" instead of "you" to the main character. Well I believe the tribe becomes hostile, and the main character's survivors must do something with some of the tribespeople. They have to cross the darkside of the land or something, and get past these little cannibal creatures, I remember them being cockroaches of sorts?
I don't remember how it ends.
Anybody got a guess?
