Summary
The new novel by the author of the best-selling The World Walker series.
'My name is Daniel Harbin, and I'm a child of The Deterrent.'
What if a superhuman turned out not to be so super...or even human? Britain's superhero, The Deterrent, was unveiled to the world in 1979 and disappeared two years later. The truth about his origins has never been revealed. The rumours about his children - those that survived - and their mysterious abilities have never been confirmed. Until now.
Armed with a diary that reveals everything about The Deterrent's early years, Daniel Harbin - discovering powers of his own - finds himself dragged into the same secretive government department his famous father worked for. Can a halfhero be a better superhero than his father, or is Daniel making a terrible mistake? When the wrong people know what you're capable of, no matter how powerful you are, you're still in danger....

Decent British young adult tale
Quite enjoyed this - an innovative tale that, like the Stone Man, is all the better for being a British tale. Great reader, too.

Two story arcs that wind together into an addictive story. I’ve been binge listening to find out what happens to them all in the end

Worth a listen
Interesting and worth a listen predicable in parts but still good concept. Lots left unanswered so possible other books coming to the series

Deal of the day
At first I found it difficult to get into the chapters of female narration, it just didn’t seem to ‘work’ but then I realised this was just unconventional in story telling. I opened my mind a little and carried on with it. I am so, so glad I did, I really enjoyed this book. I already ‘miss’ it from my life, and I am very much looking forward to the next book! Well worth the time to listen.
