iBoy

by Kevin Brooks

Just as Tom hopes to explore his burgeoning relationship with Lucy she is the victim of a brutal gang rape.

 

During the same attack Tom is struck by an iPhone thrown from the top of a tower block and parts of the device fuse with his brain to produce iBoy.

 

iBoy can access and manipulate all electronic communications, while his other super powers include a protective iSkin and the ability to deliver paralysing electric shocks.

 

Tom’s personality is almost lost as iBoy punishes rapists, gangs and the adult criminals who make life miserable on the council estate where Tom and Lucy live.

 

Love, Grandma’s wisdom and common sense win through in this gritty, entertaining yet profound thriller.
