Review

Praise for The Declaration: 'A well-imagined and endlessly thought-provoking story' Sunday Times Praise for The Legacy: 'Malley's new novel finally clinches the argument as to the merits, or otherwise, of longevity and eternal life. Initially, a world, in which illness and disease have become things of the past may have such attractions as to seem beyond criticism: but what is to happen when the longevity-inducing drugs begin to lose their potency? Malley's response is to create one of the most cleverly constructed 'David against Goliath, Good against Evil' confrontations in young adult dystopian fiction, the main strength of which lies in the richness and the humanity of its characterisation' School Librarian

Product Description

When a Pincent Pharmaceutical van is ambushed by the rebel group known as the Underground, its contents come as a huge surprise-not drugs, but corpses in a horrible state. It appears that the pharmaceutical company's top drug, Longevity-which is supposed to eradicate disease and ensure eternal life-isn't living up to its promises. Now a virus is sweeping the country, killing hundreds in its wake, and Longevity is powerless to fight it. But when the unscrupulous head of Pincent claims that the Underground is responsible for releasing the virus, it's up to Peter, Anna, and their friends to alert the world to the terrifying truth behind Longevity before it's too late.
