Editorial Reviews

Review

"'Strong imagination and a capacity for awe abound in the work of Stephen Baxter.' Times Literary Supplement" --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


Product Description

This book is set in Liverpool 1962; a place and time of danger and passion. A thrilling new music is bursting on to the grey streets of the post-war city: a music that electrifies, a music that promises to change everything. But in Cuba, on the other side of the earth, nuclear tensions are at breaking point. The end of the whole world could be just days away. At the heart of it all is fourteen-year-old Laura Mann. She's on the run, hunted by strange forces fighting over the future of humanity. Laura is the H-Bomb Girl. And Laura is about to discover that her own life is at stake - in ways she could never have imagined.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag, December 30, 2008
I found the story rather predictable - I had the story arc pretty much figure out by 1/3 of the book. However, the backdrop and the characters are very well done and Baxter's prose kept my interest. And though the story is supposedly "YA", Baxter doesn't sugarcoat anything....

I'd recommend this to older teens as well as adults who haven't read quite so many alternate universe tales as I have.
