Review
"[Garth Nix is] the coolest read in the playground." Amanda Craig "Garth Nix blends suspense, action, and high emotion in this excellent, fast-moving science-fiction story." Amazon.com "The twists and turns of the action-filled plot are compelling." Publishers Weekly "A dynamic page-turner. Fast-paced action and the intensity of the entire situation make for exciting reading." ALA Booklist "Combines plenty of comic-book action in a sci-fi setting to produce an exciting read! An action-adventure with uncommon appeal outside the genre." Kirkus
Product Description
The master of children's fantasy returns with a thrilling science fiction adventure. The clock is ticking for the children of the world, and the key to survival rests in the hands of Shade's Children. In a futuristic urban wasteland, evil Overlords have decreed that no child shall live a day past his fourteenth birthday. On that Sad Birthday, the child is the object of an obscene harvest resulting in the construction of a machinelike creature whose sole purpose is to kill. The mysterious Shade - once a man, but now more like the machines he fights - recruits the few children fortunate enough to escape. With luck, cunning, and skill, four of Shade's children come closer than any to discovering the source of the Overlords' power - and the key to their downfall. But the closer the children get, the more ruthless Shade seems to become!
