Renegade by Alan Gibbons
Paul has met his most audacious - and powerful - ancestor yet, Samuel Rector, who seemingly has the entire East End in thrall to him in the 1830s. His legion of 'rat boys' use terror and menace ordinarily, but with the demon seed inside them, their powers know no end. Their only match is Paul, the renegade, the one member of the Rector clan determined to strike each poisoned generation from the family history. But nobody is stronger than Lud, the King of London, struggling against imprisonment in his cell where the city's five gates meet.
'Renegade is easily the most powerful and terrifying of the Hell's Underground series so far' TOMMY DONBAVANDCOM 'This story is seeped in macabre and dark events which produce an incredibly powerful storyline...the imaginative and memorable plot became a drive to finish the book. I found the style both accessible and refreshing, it was both easy and compulsive to read... An absolute must for any reader' MR RIPLEY'S ENCHANTED BOOKS - BLOG "Alan Gibbons is a skilled spinner of incredible yarns... There is so much colour, life and pace that readers will surely be caught up in this dark world." BOOKS FOR KEEPS
