Being

by Kevin Brooks

When he turns up for a routine hospital appointment, Robert Smith suspects nothing. By the time he leaves, in a stolen car with a gun in his hand, people are dead and he no longer has any idea who or what he really is.

 

The doctors found something inside him, something inexplicable and terrifying, and the sinister men in dark suits are sworn to pursue and find him or die in the attempt.

 

As Robert tries desperately to come to terms with his new knowledge he quickly discovers that there is no escape and life will never be the same again.

 

Sure to cause a storm and inspire a cult following, this original and startling thriller asks uncomfortable questions about what it means to be human. Backed up by an internet microsite, author podcast and online debating forum for teenagers, Being looks certain to generate plenty of controversy and constructive discussion.
