Contagion
Jack and his friends are in a race against time to save the remaining inhabitants of a postapocalyptic London from a nuclear bomb.
Two years after London is struck by a devastating terrorist attack, it is
cut off from the rest of the world, protected by a large force of
soldiers (known as Choppers) while the rest of Britain believe that
their ex-capital is a toxic, uninhabited wasteland. But that's not true. Jack and his friends know that the truth is very different - and
incredible: the few remaining survivors in London are changing;
developing strange, fantastic powers; evolving. And the Chopper force
guarding London is treating the ruined city as its own experimental
ground.
Now, Jack's powers are growing. His friend Lucy-Anne's
powers are developing too, and Nomad - that mysterious woman who started
it all - is close by. But the Choppers have initiated their final
safeguard - a huge nuclear bomb that will wipe out London, and everyone
still within its boundaries. Jack and his friends must spread the news
of the bomb and save everyone they can. Before that can happen, Jack
must face his father, the deadly Reaper, in their final showdown.
