Product Description

Product Description

Kidnap. Betrayal. A secret past and a lethal virus. Who do you trust when everything you know is a lie ... and the entire planet's at stake?

Sammy Twice is a normal kid - that's what adults always tell him. Until his mum gets abducted in the dead of night. Then everything changes forever. Because Sammy has a hidden past. His home, his parents, even the person he is ... they're all a lie.

And who is The Professor? Why is he stealing animals? What is The Ark? Sammy needs to find out fast. The countdown has already started. The flood is coming, and it will destroy everything on Earth.

"The gap between his feet and the fence around the lion enclosure was at least a metre wide. The drop was the height of five men. In the darkness, curving rolls of barbed wire shimmered along the top of the fence, each razor prong waiting to snag and incise.

Sammy took a deep breath. He lifted his chin. Rain poured over his face, running into his eyes, blurring his vision.

He blinked.

Lightning split the sky ahead. The air fizzed and a billion drops were frozen like diamonds in the wintry sky. In the distance a sudden macabre silhouette: his mother, clinging crucifix-like to the wire, three lions reaching up with great sharp claws to drag her down.

Darkness. The thunder cracked like an explosion.

He jumped."

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripped from the first page to the last 1 Jun 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I settled down to read this, not really knowing what to expect. I was hooked after the prologue, let alone the first chapter.
I couldn't wait for the next time I could read this to find out what was happening - so many twists, turns and shocks that I feel breathless even thinking about it.
I very quickly forgot that this was written for young adults, as I was so swept up in the characters and plot.
It is also really thoroughly researched and oozes authority and conviction - such a fantastic debut!
