The Nightshade Project (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Donna, Steph and Will are ordinary teenagers, but with a silicon chip brain implant as her eighteenth birthday present, is it Donna who is coming of age or the entire world?

Adam Colton mixes surrealism, comedy, horror and teenage drama in this eclectic new novel, which touches all bases when it comes to modern concerns from climate change to virtual reality. Three young friends become unwilling guinea pigs in the government's surveillance programme. What should be a time of celebration and discovering adulthood becomes a time of existential angst as an outside force hacks directly into Donna's mind.

The author says, "I wanted throw everything but the kitchen sink into this novel." Donna's favourite comedian seems to preempt the action with his routines, but is it all too much for her young mind to take in? And can the truth about the human race be discovered before she loses her grip on reality?

Autorenporträt

Born in 1975, Adam Colton is a writer of humorous travelogues and short stories from Kent, UK. His first paperback documented an attempt to visit every lighthouse on the mainland coast of England and Wales undertaken with his father, Roger Colton, who published and contributed to the book which was featured on the BBC news to mark National Lighthouse Day and became the subject of a question on the quiz show, University Challenge.

Since then, Adam has straddled the line between documenting his lightly philosophical UK travel escapades and mind-blowing fiction. One of his stories was short-listed for the HG Wells festival's short story competition. He is also a writer of topical songs, performing as one half of the duo Adam and Teresa, whose song 'Fat Cats with a Death Wish on the M25' received airplay on BBC Radio Kent. Meanwhile '2021 - A Musical Odyssey' humorously reviews classic rock albums from the 1960s to the present day in a way that should raise a smile with anybody of a certain age..
