Ever since the floods came and washed the world away, survivors have been desperate to win a place on X Isle, the island where life is rumoured to be easier than on what's left of the mainland. Only young boys are in with a chance, the smaller and lighter the better. Baz and Ray are two of the lucky few to be chosen, but they soon discover that X-Isle is a far cry from paradise. Ruled by Preacher John, a dangerous religious fanatic, it's a violent, unpredictable place where terrible things can happen at any moment. The boys hatch an extraordinary plan in order to protect themselves - the construction of a mighty weapon of defence. But can they complete this weapon in time, and are they really prepared to use it in order to secure their freedom? Powerful and compelling, "X Isle" is a fast-moving thriller that will keep you guessing right to the very end.

In the fight for survival, anything goes.
The floods have come. Some are lucky to be alive. Though they might not count themselves lucky. In the aftermath of global devastation those left barely survive, living in chaos and fear, and near starvation. They have lost everything, including their future.
But there is one way out: a boat to X Isle.
And Baz is about to take it.
A hard-hitting novel set in a world where there are no boundaries, and normality is just a word.
