Publisher's summary

A dystopian sci-fi thriller set in a small Sussex village.

On a sweltering summer’s night, teenage siblings Jack and Lily witness a helicopter crash on the main road between Brighton and London. The next morning they wake to find their village has been sealed off from the entire world. A terrorist cell is holed up in Stenhurst - or at least that’s the official story, put out by sinister government agent Wynter and his vicious sidekick, Major Kellett.

But later that day, Lily and Jack stumble on the truth: the authorities are hunting for a mysterious creature, labelled CatX, who escaped during the crash. Together with their friends, Erin and Oliver, Lily and Jack take it upon themselves to defy the lockdown and protect the creature, no matter what the risks.

The stakes are raised still further when a team of American agents arrive with their own unique technologies. Nobody who sees the CatX must be allowed to survive, and yet it soon becomes clear that there is a much bigger secret here...one that threatens the entire world.

With four teenagers pitted against deadly opposition, this is a story of supernatural menace that will appeal to fans of Stephen King and Stranger Things.

Featuring an exclusive interview with narrator Raza Jaffrey at the end of the audiobook, in which he talks about the narration experience, his career as an actor and the things (and people) he loves to listen to.

Editorial reviews

“This story is pacey, dark and captivating. I loved the world the author’s built, and felt totally swept up in the peril.” (Harriet, Audible Editor)

“Tom Bale’s ability to transport you right into the centre of the action is remarkable. With rich detail, dimensional characters and superb narration by Raza Jaffrey, I truly felt like I was meandering the streets of Stenhurst with the rest of the gang.” (Jess, Audible Editor)

Critic reviews

“I loved this book. A thoroughly original premise executed with verve and utter emotional truth. An unforgettable read.” (Elly Griffiths)

Great Story!

I really enjoyed this book! This was the first Tom Bale book I read and when I finished I went and looked to see if there was a second book in this series. Although the book was a complete story (No Cliffhangers), the author did leave an opening for another book. When (and if) another in this series comes out, I will definitely get it!

The narrator, Raza Jaffrey, did a great job with different voices for the cast of characters.

Thanks for writing a great story!
