In a society where unwanted & troublesome teens are salvaged for their body parts, Connor, Risa & Lev continue to fight against the system that would 'unwind' them. Thanks to their high-profile revolt at the Happy Jack Harvest Camp, people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of so-called troublesome teens might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question & a new law passed. However, unwinding has become big business, & there are powerful political & corporate interests, not to mention the illegal ' Parts Pirates', that want to see it not only continue, but exp&. Connor, Risa & Lev each struggle to rescue as many AWOL teens as possible & offer them sanctuary. But life at the Graveyard is hard, rivalries bubble under the surface & the cracks are beginning to show. & then there is Cam, a teen who does not exist. Made entirely out of parts from one hundred other 'unwinds', Cam is a 21st century Frankenstein, a rewound, struggling to find a true identity & meaning, & a place in society. But when a sadistic bounty hunter who takes "trophies" from all the 'unwinds' he captures starts to pursue Connor, Lev & Risa, Cam finds his own fate inextricably bound with theirs... ...

Harold Drinkwater was not supposed to go to war. He was told he was half an inch too short. But, determined to fight for king & country, he found a battalion that would take him & was soon on his way to the trenches of the Somme. As the war dragged on, Harry saw most of the men he joined up with killed around him. But, somehow, he survived.

Soldiers were forbidden from keeping a diary so Harry wrote his in secret, recording the horrendous conditions & constant fear, as well as his pleasure at receiving his officers commission, the joy of his men when they escaped the trenches for the Italian Front & the trench raid for which he was awarded the Military Cross.

Harry writes with such immediacy it is easy to forget that a hundred years have passed. He is by turns wry, exhausted, annoyed, resigned & often amazed to be alive. Never before published, Harrys War is a moving testament to one mans struggle to keep his humanity in the face of unimaginable violence
