Product Description

Product Description

When Seckry Sevenstars is forced out of his village by the greedy Endrin Corporation and relocated to the daunting metropolis of Skyfall City, he harbours resentment for the company and vows to get them back one day for taking away his home, his school and his friends.

Fortunately, the marvels of the city do a good job in distracting Seckry from his anger and homesickness, and it isn’t long before he’s competing at Friction (the city’s most popular multiplayer video game), slurping awe-inspiring multicoloured milkshakes, and getting butterflies on his first date.

Then, when a mysterious email asks Seckry to break into the headquarters of the Endrin Corporation and steal a container full of worms for a hefty sum of money, his anger resurfaces, and he can’t resist the revenge he promised himself.

Alone at night, Seckry creeps through the sewers whilst wondering what experiments Endrin might be doing on the worms, and emerges into the silent complex. But the worms aren’t the only thing that he finds. Staring at him through the darkness, with wide, innocent eyes, is something that makes Seckry’s heart almost stop.

A girl.

She’s shaking, petrified, and has no recollection of who she is or what she’s doing there.

Floodlights bleach the area and Seckry has no choice but to grab a hold of the girl and escape with her.

Suddenly the question of what Endrin were doing with a few worms becomes the last thing on Seckry’s mind. What were Endrin doing with a human?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing. 7 Dec 2011
By Avatre
Format:Kindle Edition
I started reading this at night and finished it in one long sitting. Inventive. Imaginative. Absolutely amazing attention to character development, plot, the word itself, everything seemed perfect. The writing had just the right level of 'in-between' to be thoroughly enjoyed by both younger and older readers and I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviewers: this would do very well on the shelf next to the likes of Harry Potter, or the Hunger Games. In fact I can only think of two problems with the entire thing: First, I want more. Now.

Secondly, I really want to play Friction.

Just... amazingly brilliant. What a fantastic story and well written. When's the next one out? because I can't wait. Amazon, you need a way to tag a book so you can find out as soon as the next one is out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book! 27 Aug 2012
By Brooke
Format:Paperback
This book is by far one of the best I have ever read; I couldn't put it down! The plot was very well thought out, the writing was imaginative, engaging & descriptive and the main character of Seckry Sevenstars was loveable and relatable. I also liked how everything was wrapped up nicely, leaving room for Book 2 but not forcing me into reading it just so I can wrap up the story (I will be reading it of course).

It's the best book I have ever read, I like the idea of Friction as a real game and would love to be able to either invent the game or play the game.

Take that, mum! I ain’t some lazy bum anymore who sits around in his underwear playing video games all day, I’m a fully fledged hero!” Loca rolled her eyes. “Tenk, you’re a hero, yes, but that’s not gonna change the fact that you’re a lazy bum that sits around playing video games all day. You’re still gonna be that guy.” “Well, that might be true. But I can wear a t-shirt now saying ‘I’m a Hero,’ while doing it if I want.” “Tenk,” Loca said. “Please tell me you won’t.” &quote;
