A searing, sassy and smart-mouthed spy thriller -
Deadpool meets Christopher Brookmyre for teens.Charlie thinks he''s a pretty normal guy, until someone breaks into his room one night and reveals that everything he''s ever thought about anything is wrong.
- His parents are boring - nope - they''re actually highly skilled computer hackers with a history of radical action - He has no special talents - nah - he''s been jacked up with the Jekyll serum, making him near enough a super hero (minus the spandex) - The world is basically a good and predictable place - wrong again - there''s an evil corporation determined to bring on THE END OF THE WORLD... and kill him - The person who broke into his room is weird - OK, that one is true. But Daffodil (not her real name) has a bossy, all-powerful artificial intelligence attached to her brain stem which is bound to make anyone a little different.
In this pacey, ironic thriller, brilliant dialogue meets slapstick fight scenes, in a teen version of Christopher Brookmyre, and the question of who''s controlling whom is startlingly, hilariously and constantly revised.
