Author's Note: I wrote about Awakening on Orbis 4 because I think that it had a very interesting conflict. I also think that the resolution was intriguing.
My book, Awakening on Orbis 4 by PJ Haarsma, is about a seventeen year old boy, Johnny Turnbull, who was one of the many subjects of an experiment to save an inter-galatical planet called Orbis 4. His creator made children and edited their DNA so that one of them would end up the Scion and one of them the Tonat. The Scion is like a ruler, but has special powers and enhanced senses used to protect and lead the people. The Tonat is a powerful, ruthless protector of the Scion, because some people naturally hate the Scion and risk there lives to kill them. The main conflict is Person (being Johnny) vs. Society (being the people that want to kill the Scion) when Johnny refuses to become a space jumper, people who can jump though time and place with a belt, because he wanted to be with a girl named Max.
In the end, Johnny realizes that being the Tonat means much more then he thinks and he accepts his fate. Therefore, you could say that Johnny won the conflict, but I believe that the people that hate the Scion win because when the Scion and Max are about to fall to their deaths into a black hole Johnny's Tonat DNA kicks in and even though he knows that His sister, the Scion, will live, his Tonat hormones force him to let go of Max anyways.
