What if the 2011 London riots had never stopped?
August 2011 - The London riots, coordinated by technology and social media, have brought the city to its knees. Buildings are burning. Shops are being looted. Homes and businesses are destroyed.
When the government and police fail, two alternative leaders emerge in a battle for the future soul of London:
Chester George - a masked man whose real identity is unknown, uses YouTube, punk rock and fierce intellect to spread the anarchy.
Sadie Hobbs - Reality TV star and blogger. Loathed and controversial, she urges 'normal' society to fight back against Chester George and the 'feral rats' destroying the city.
The fate of London hangs in the balance. And when the day of reckoning comes, hundreds of thousands of people, including sixteen-year-old Mack Walker, will descend upon the city for the final showdown and a day that London will never forget.
London has been cut off from the rest of civilisation.
The people there abide by no rules. There is no police presence. No laws or consequences. There is only the ravaged city, hidden behind two superwalls since 2011.
And yet they are not alone.
One of the survivors of 2011, a mysterious loner, is close to discovering the truth about his life in this nightmarish version of London. And when he finds out, he'll know exactly why no one on the outside is in a hurry to release the Londoners back into society.
'There are worse things than being dead.'
The Ghosts of London - the most dangerous gang in the city - are going hunting for human flesh across the lawless, urban wasteland that has arisen from the ashes of the old metropolis.
If you're out there - hide, hope and wait for the sun to rise. Pray that the Ghosts don't find you.
Because there are worse things than being dead.
Ghosts of London is a nail-bitingly tense, fast-paced dystopian thriller set in an alternate London. It is the third book in the Future of London series.
