Following a mysterious explosion, a city on the coast of Scotland falls under the heel of a military lock down, sickness and fear rapidly escalating into violence. Caught between what is familiar and fate's cruel sense of humour, Paige and her friends find themselves struggling to survive, and with Paige's growing abilities drawing more attention with each day can they escape with their lives intact?
Set in a world that you recognise but is just far enough into the future to make you wonder, the character definition is amazingly detailed and you immediately feel for Paige and the crisis she is going through. A quick page turner, the action is intense and well thought out. Had to take a "moment" at one stage in the book as I was taken by surprise, a sad moment that would have had all us all reacting in the same way as the lead character. Waiting for more from this series to see what Paige and her band of humans++ unleash on the world at large :)
