The Seekers by Dash

 

The year is 2010.  All over England, the children are going missing.

The Shadow is getting stronger.  The little boy knows it, the neighbours know it.  The other children at school know it . . . yet today, today when the Truth comes to visit this particular little boy there is nothing anybody can do for him.

Young Billy Speers is discovering that his past might not be as ordinary as he had previously thought.  Hunted on all sides by sinister corporations and mysterious shadowy figures he learns that the things that single him out from the other children will become the very attributes that save him.

The Seekers are active again.

Note: The Seekers contains some graphic violence and harsh language.
