Kara and Joe live outside the Wall, spending their days navigating perilous waterways and scratching out a living in the ruins of the old city. But when they get swept up in a police chase, and find themselves in possession of a mysterious map, they’re suddenly in a world of trouble!

As they delve deeper and deeper into a dark world of rebellion and revenge they’ve soon got gangsters, cops and ruthless Mariner pirates in their hi-tech submarines hot on their heels. But as Joe and Kara are swept up into a revolution of justice and vengeance, they must find a way to fight back and save their city before the walls come tumbling down, and the waves come rushing in…

A startling cinematic adventure set in a world ravaged by a changing climate, rising tides and a society in turmoil, from the author of the official Star Wars series Adventures in Wild Space.

‘I have not read any of Tom Huddleston’s books before but I really liked the way he writes. The characters were great and lots of fun with lots of attitude. The pictures he created in my head were really vivid. I could see everything like it was a movie! I liked the pirates and I really liked the strong girl characters. This was an awesome book and I would tell anyone to read it.’ – Lily, age 10, Lovereading4kids

‘This fast-paced futuristic adventure story set in a sunken, post-climate change London feels like a blockbuster movie in waiting.’ – Time Out
