Hard-hitting, lightning-paced and beautifully written, Way Down Dark delivers a thrilling fight for survival in a world where death lurks around every corner. Fans of The Hunger Games will devour it, although they might not want to read it after dark... A dark and brutal new YA trilogy with a heroine who could whup Katniss any day of the week. When the stars align, I feel like I won a small lottery. Such is the case with James Smythe. - Wired A young writer with a preternaturally powerful and distinctive voice. - Guardian Savage, intimate, inexorable. As if Philip K Dick and David Mitchell collaborated on an episode of The West Wing. Unsettling, gripping and hugely thought-provoking.
