Product Description

Book Description
What would it be like to live in a society where people were illegal? Where you're scared to get it wrong, frightened of doing something that someone isn't going to like, something that will result in your suddenly becoming illegal, inclean, nos tatus, denied the right to life, or dumped in a widlerness of lawless disorder where an ever-present threat can take you out at any minute.

What if someone were to offer you hope in that situation? And what if your biggest enemy took up that offer?

Mike Merrick belongs to the security force called the Watchers. His job is to go into the old city, which serves as a dumping ground for the old, the sick, the 'Illegal', the 'Unclean' and all those who don't have the 'Code'. He takes the Illegals there and culls them when necessary.

One night, he and his partner Jay find themselves picking up a passenger and bringing her out of the city - Sunny Cain, the privileged daughter of the Watchers' supervisor, Stirling Cain. What has she been doing in the city? She mentions a name, a name she's heard in the city - David Drum. She says he's helping people get out of the old city 'across the water'. But that can't be so. David Drum is dead, along with other leaders of their illegal sect - or so Mike had thought...

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read, 22 May 2009
By Anthony Britten "Tony Britten" (Felsted, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I dont read much fiction but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story of futuristic fiction, the storyline is gritty and the characters well defined. It has a very interesting christian angle which I also enjoyed. A really good read in its self with a clear message and moral contrasting religion with following Jesus. I liked this in the same way as I like C.S. Lewis. After reading this you just got to read Watchers 2. Tony

5.0 out of 5 stars Watchers, 11 Jul 2009
Incredibly well written. Very pacey and instantly gripping. You get drawn in straight away and can really visualise the characters. Not only is there a riveting plot but this book provides a completely unique way of understanding what it means to live the Christian life and the freedom that it can bring. It does so in a very subtle yet purposeful way and is not at all preachy or heavy handed about it. Want to read the sequel!!!
