Emma Clayton is a new name in the world of modern British science fiction!
A gloomy future, people live in tight, overpopulated cities, which are surrounded by a wall from all sides. Thorny wire is laid on top of the thick concrete wall, and current is brought to it. The wall protects people from animals, because animals carry the plague, from which half of humanity has already died out. And among those who survived, children, endowed with supernatural abilities, began to be born more and more often. Once these children begin to disappear one after another. There are rumors that someone wants to create an invincible army of mutants from them …
“In the book there is an atmosphere of secrets, important philosophical issues are affected and there is an ending-Primmann, hinting at a possible continuation.” – Maara Alpert, public library of Los Angeles.
