About this listen

Lester Ferris needs a rest. He's spent his life being shot at, and Afghanistan was the last stop on his road to exhaustion. Mancreu is the ideal place for Lester to relax. A former British colony, soon to be destroyed because of its very special version of toxic pollution. But Lester Ferris makes a friend: a street kid with a comicbook fixation who will need a home - who might, Lester hopes, become an adopted son. But in a place like Mancreu, just what sort of hero will the boy need?

I found this book because I was looking for books narrated by Matt Bates - he's a marvellous narrator and does a perfect job here. Loved 'reading' a truly original book with fabulous writing. I hope more people discover this one.

Great writing and perfect narration
