Josh Cumberland: Book 1

Thomas Blackthorne

You thought Big Brother was tough? Try Knife Edge - the reality TV show where wannabe knife fighters are the celebrities in a nation going to hell. Britain, tomorrow. The ultimate response to knife crime has been instituted by a bankrupt government: Duelling with knives has now been legalised. On Saturday nights, the nation sit down to watch the country's best fighters slash it out on prime time.

When a young boy with hoplophobia (the fear of weaponry) runs away from home, his father hires a former special forces agent to find him. With the help of the boy's psychiatrist, Josh Cumberland delves into the dark underbelly of the knife culture that has infected his country with no guarantee that the boy is even still alive....

Josh Cumberland: Book 2

Thomas Blackthorne

This is Josh Cumberland: ex-special forces cyber specialist, grieving and enraged by what happened to his daughter, in need of action to put things right.

And this is his world: near-future Britain, climate catastrophe, a legalized knife culture, and now a rash of suicides: teenagers in groups of 13, killing themselves in Cutter Circles. But maybe these deaths are deliberate. Part of someone's plan. At the corrupt heart of the political establishment, malevolent technology has reached new heights - or depths.

Can Josh pull himself and everyone else back from the tipping-point?
