Prologue

London, 2077. Post-Civil War. Alistair Raven is a 14-year-old trying to get through high school unnoticed and avoid the harassment of the young bully boys of the ruling Futurist Party. He finds solace exploring the grimy tunnels and forgotten landmarks of the city.

In the caverns of the British Museum Alistair stumbles across a banned text, The Truth; it offers him a civil war alternative that seems like fantasy. But the book is found in his possession and the Futurists begin a pursuit that thrusts him into the centre of a rebellion led by a member of the Royal Family no one knew existed. Alistair must choose a side and find his truth if he is to save himself... and maybe the country.
