Generation
London: the present
Population: 7
No adults, no rules, no boundaries. What would you do if all of London was suddenly yours?
The city is deserted. Georgie and a mismatched group of other teenagers are all that remain. They must work together if they are to survive; they must learn from each other if they are to find food and shelter, and if they can manage not to kill one another along the way, so much the better.
With no one to stop them they are free to raid zoos, rob banks, steal priceless works of art - live anywhere, do anything and have everything they ever wanted. Who says that the end of civilisation can’t be the best fun they ever had?
But will it be enough? And more importantly, are they really alone?
Because something’s out there amongst the silent streets and decaying buildings - watching, waiting…

About the author
Sam Reid
2 books5 followersSam Reid is a writer, visual artist, and educator. He and his wife live and work all over the world, but call London home. After reading English at Oxford, Sam wrote and directed short films, and developed a sitcom for the BBC. He then went on to produce theatre and opera, before settling down to the fantastically lucrative occupation of writing novels (business was never his strong suit).
His newest release, Daughter of The Regiment, is a YA comic adventure about fathers, daughters, and secret missions with muskets. Full of tall tales, intrigue, and larger-than-life characters, it is the first novel in a laugh-out-loud, swashbuckling series.

Generation is a thoroughly well written thriller, packed with humour, philosophy and tension. It starts at a cracking pace and doesn't let up. A highly enjoyable read.
