    About this ebook

    Arthur is an OAP, hiding out from the world in his grotty top-floor council flat. He’d move – if it weren’t for his

    missing son. Today is Michael’s twentieth birthday – will he finally come home? But the person Arthur finally lets in turns out to be someone else entirely. This teenager is seeking refuge from The Fights – the raging riots sparked years ago by a notorious computer game.
