Blackout - Sebastian Cleary Novel Sam Grenfall

This epic young adult thriller, a mixture of James Bond and Breaking Bad, is about friendship, coming of age, and breaking free from society.

A CounterTerrorism operative shows up tortured to death. An elderly professor goes missing. An eco-cult is recruiting at a weekend concert for young people at Battersea Power Station. A teenage felon's music has gone viral. All CounterTerrorism want is for him to make a simple swap: Some photos for his freedom.

Only he's trapped inside Battersea Power Station. No swap. No way out, no means of communciation. And the dawning horror that the missing and the dead will bring England to its knees. He's got his GCSEs, his guitar, and a grasp of engineering. That's got to be enough.

To free himself. And save London.
