Book Description
Two years after London is struck by a devastating terrorist attack, it is cut off from the rest of the world, protected by a large force of soldiers (known as Choppers) while the rest of Britain believe that their ex-capital is a toxic, uninhabited wasteland.
But that's not true. Jack and his friends know that the truth is very different and incredible: the few remaining survivors in London are changing; developing strange, fantastic powers; evolving. And the Chopper force guarding London is treating the ruined city as its own experimental ground.
Now, Jack's powers are growing. His friend Lucy Anne's powers are developing too, and Nomad that mysterious woman who started it all is close by. But the Choppers have initiated their final safeguard a huge nuclear bomb that will wipe out London, and everyone still within its boundaries.
Jack and his friends must spread the news of the bomb and save everyone they can. Before that can happen, Jack must face his father, the deadly Reaper, in their final showdown.
''Jack viewed the endless stars, the incredible depth of space, and the sense of eternity surrounding him, but he was not afraid. He belonged in this universe deep inside himself. With effort, he would flex it to his will. He moved quickly, flitting from star to star and orbiting briefly as he considered the gifts they might bestow upon him. Some he recognised, because he had used them before. Others were mysterious, massive and
cold, closed to him for now. He did not like such mystery, but now was not the time to probe them.''
