Book description
'The gun straps to the inside of my leg with Velcro. It's not the
absolute zenith of fashion to do this anymore, but girls who wear
theirs with leather straps and buckles aren't serious: with Velcro you
can get at the thing when you need it.
'I also have a pink ammo belt. It's heavy, but who said fashion was
easy?'

In a
mall like any other, a gang of teenage girls are suddenly caught up in
a maelstrom of shopping and violence. But - as the designer bullets
fly - it is not only their own lives they are fighting for. Unknown to
them they are battling for the life of a man trapped in another place,
in a different world, and with very different enemies.
He is a man they have never met, but who represents the future of
the human race ... or could destroy it.
