Surviving a massive alien siege is one thing – surviving humanity is another. I’m all cried out. I’m still alone. The sky is full of giant spinning black balls that kill anyone stupid enough to go outside. I’ve only been out of the car twice – once to pee and once to look at the sky. That one look was enough for me. Now I sit alone in the car, staring out the window like a rat in a cage. When the cataclysm arrives, Megs, a 12-year-old streetwise girl, is trapped in a hotel parking garage in Los Angeles; and 16-year-old Josh is stuck in a house in Prosser, Washington, with his increasingly obsessive-compulsive father. Food and water and time are running out. Will Megs survive long enough to find her mother? Will Josh and his father survive each other? ‘Fast-paced, thought-provoking in a subtle way, entertaining and captivating. A fantastic, intriguing, couldn’t-put-it-down read, that left you pondering survival strategies for alien invasions way into the night.’ Jemima, 15 ‘Every single sentence strikes a chord, and it’s almost unbearably intense. A grim, unyielding story that will leave you tear-stained, nail-bitten, and struggling to hang on to the edge of your seat.’
