A clever sci-fi novel with a twist from The Black Tattoo author Sam Enthoven.
'[Enthoven is] clearly loving telling this story - there are some pleasing twists - and his energy creeps into the words on every page.' - Philip Ardagh in The Guardian
'For his first time out, Enthoven has crafted a fast-paced page turner that reads very much like watching a movie. The balance of fantasy/horror/action is just right. Think The Golden Compass meets The Matrix. An odd combination, no doubt, but Enthoven makes it believable and likable.' Teenreads.com
