Silently, digitally, a boy takes apart your family



Tom's a regular teenager sullen, anxious, super-smart, feeling safe within his bedroom and wedded to his screen.



On a packed train, a London commodities trader gets under his skin.



The trader's got a fine wife, two kids, a yappy dog, big house, annual bonus. Tom hacks him. The trader's hardware becomes stuffed with dangerous, damaging images. Call it collateral damage.



Hacking is what Tom does. He's got control of the keyboards of key players in the fossil fuel industry. If he doesn't bring down the grid, who will?



Roads and trainlines lead the main players to a violent confrontation in the brutalist surrounds of London's Barbican Centre. Government agents work to prevent a global blackout. Tom's set to save the planet.



Who will win?

Recenzijas

Praise for Martin Goodman



Goodman writes with flare and panache, and the narrative fizzes along. Goodmans novel soars.  The Times



Heralds a new dawn for British writing.  Daily Post



Beautifully structured and has a distinctive and haunting tone. Altogether a very clever and memorable piece of work. Simon Mawer, author of The Glass Room



A magical mystery tour in humility, truth, death, betrayal, forgiveness, the envelopment of nature, written as clearly and powerfully as a French Pyrenees river. Karla Kuban, author of Marchlands



A treat to read a gripping, uncanny, gothic adventure.  , author of Gothic Horror



It combines psychology at its darkest with a genuine sense of the uncanny a powerful and disturbing experience.  Ramsey Campbell



A great book about how to save the planet Coldplay



The book is inspirational in a hardheaded, lets go to work-and-get-real-results sort of way Theres a global vision. Its quietly amazing.  Oxford Today



Goodman's attention to detail often combines with verbal felicity to memorialize even the most ordinary moments. Powerful and affecting work. Paul Russell, author of Immaculate Blue



Such narrow, narrow confines we live in. Every so often, one of us primates escapes these dimensions, as Martin Goodman did. All we can do is rattle the bars and look after him as he runs into the hills. We wait for his letters home.  The Los Angeles Times



Extraordinary An important, aching, artful novel.  The Toronto Star

Martin Goodman has tackled the world in a thrilling range of fiction and nonfiction. His subjects are self-experimenting scientists and spiritual masters, shamans and Nazi war criminals, eco-warriors and world-class musicians, vampires and Tibetan lamas. His books have won awards, with settings that span the globe. More and more they wave red flags about ecological crises. His recent My Head for a Tree tells the story of the Bishnois, a community in India who fight with their lives to protect nature. He is emeritus professor at the University of Hull, an editor for Conservation Times, and shares a life with his husband between London, Los Angeles and the South of France.
