The Premier demands loyalty and controls his people through terror and violence. Thirty-three years ago, Robb Calloway almost died when he stood against the Government. He was captured, tortured and forced to live out his days a broken man. Now he watches helplessly as his eldest son - Ryan - follows the same path. Ryan slips deeper into Straybeck's underworld where revolutionaries and criminals fight against the gunnermen. A place where truth and lies are beyond separation and even the giants can't keep blood off the streets. Straybeck Rising is the heart-breaking story of one family's struggle to survive. It shows a boy growing up too fast and a father and brother who can't keep him safe. Bursting into the dystopian genre, this is a compelling blend of sci-fi and urban fantasy.
