About this audiobook

In a near-future London where humans and humanoid bots live side by side, a sophisticated virus is infiltrating the national system. If it uploads fully, every intelligent machine in the country – from home assistants to hospital bots to android enforcers – will shut down. Zero, a 13-year-old hacker whose day job is to sneak into high-security server rooms and 'liberate' funds from undeserving corporations, has a serious distrust of bots – and no real interest in saving the world. But the virus threatens the life of Grace, his younger sister, who – as a result of the car crash that killed their parents ten years ago – now has a machine heart. No one will work harder than Zero to stop the upload. Except perhaps Andi, a mysterious humanoid bot who has appeared with secrets of his own. With only hours on the clock, the only way to protect Grace might be to partner up. And along the way, he must come up against MI6 – and unravel his own past ...

About the author

Steve grew up on a stony stretch of the south coast, nourished by a diet of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. For a kid who read so many books and asked so many questions, it took Steve an embarrassingly long time to realise that he too could be an author. It took even longer to become one. Along the way, he's been a product designer, a communications director, a technology consultant, a speechwriter, a magazine editor, a webcaster, and a copywriter. Though rarely at the same time. Nowadays he writes tech-filled adventures for curious young readers. He is not a spy, nor is he a robot. Well, not completely.

Louis Hill is a London-based actor. He can be heard on commercials for Instagram and Qatar Airways, TV shows and films such as Say Nothing on Disney+ and Paddington 3, and a wide range of audiobooks like The Bletchley Riddle by Steve Sheinkin and Ruta Sepetys and Larry Hayes's The Nightmares of Finnegan Quick. Louis is also a published author, with his debut novel, Let the Light In.
