William Wenton fra Luridiumstyven er tilbage! William Wenton vender tilbage til Instituttet for Posthuman Forskning. Her er alt forandret: Der er udgangsforbud og vagter overalt - og der begynder pludselige at ske mystiske ting. Hvad er skyld i de voldsomme anfald William er begyndt at få? Og hvem er den mørke skikkelse der prøver at kontakte ham? Alt leder hen imod en kryptalportal.

William har aldrig forstået, hvorfor hans familie lever under et dæknavn. Eller hvorfor hans morfar forsvandt sporløst for otte år siden. Men da han på en skoleudflugt løser Umuligheden, verdens sværeste kode, går det op for ham, at han er i fare. Og at han må finde sin morfar - så hurtigt som muligt.

When Will wakes up, it takes him a moment to remember the girl in the supermarket. For weeks, he has been trying to find survivors. And she had been in the middle of the dog food aisle. Just standing there. Before she lifted what she was holding. Fired, before he could so much as finish a sentence. He has no idea who she is, what she wants with him or where he is being taken. As for Chloe and Daniel, he can only pray that they have not been ambushed, too. No, right now, only one thing is for certain. That in this desolate world, they are not as alone as they thought....

Will Batchelor hates his new life in London, the private school his father forces him to go to. He misses Brighton. He misses his friends. He misses home. Little does Will realise that his problems are about to pale into insignificance. Because lurking on the horizon is a threat like no other. Unseen. Contagious. Deadly. Yet it is as his world crumbles around him that he receives the tiniest glimmer of hope. A glimmer of hope which will require him to make a journey like no other. But, even in this desolate place, it will not be one that he must make alone . . .

When Will wakes up in the back of the van–in agony and struggling for breath; his limbs cable-tied–it takes him a moment to remember the girl in the supermarket. For weeks, he had been trying to find survivors. And she had been at the middle of the dog food aisle. Just standing there.

Will can't escape the image burned into his mind—Leo's gunshot. The horror that followed. Daniel’s screams. Chip’s agonised barks. The wailing of his campmates. The nightmare which haunts them all. One thing is certain now: they are prisoners. Watched at every turn and under threat with each passing second. Powerless. Trapped. But just when all seems bleak, an opportunity emerges. A single, reckless chance at escape.

When William gets thrown 500 years into the future, humanity is on its knees in a war for survival. The same gene that sent William to the future brings him other benefits. As his body develops special powers he meets Sara, the resistance's best warrior. Sara is the only other person to have shown these powers and has become formidable in their use.

Their journey is finally at an end, but their new reality has only just begun. In a desolate city, haunted by memories at every corner, Will – with Chloe and Daniel beside him – must make a new life from the wreckage of the A-Virus. But as grief and isolation divides them, and problems surmount them, one question screams through it all: Are they truly alone in this world? Or is there somebody else out there? Watching.

Two months since the A-Virus hit. Since all but the last few survivors of the human race fell victim to the apocalypse. Now, Will might just have the slimmest of chances at finding out why the A-Virus really happened. Why they are being kept in the Society against their will. Why all the guards and people of Project Beta survived, when the rest of the world did not. Their plan is desperate, and their ally unlikely, but, together with Ellie, Will must break into the forbidden mansion at the heart of the society.

Having seen no human life for two days, Will and Chloe never expect to hear a car engine. To see the car emerging over the hill. To see the shotgun-wielding men emerge from it. The gun pointed directly at them. The men’s grins nothing but friendly. Because for Chloe and Will, the men have a purpose. A purpose which could not be more terrible.

Will Batchelor hates his new life in London, the private school his father forces him to go to. He misses Brighton. He misses his friends. He misses home.

As his world crumbles, is there anything he can do to save it? Or will he lose everything he loves, and everyone?
