No obvious hero, Mark just wanted his freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd Georgia offered him a possible way out. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere had been an oppression upon Britain for a generation, since the disastrous declaration of war in 1939. They fought back but there often seemed little point against such overwhelming superiority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe resistance took many forms. One of the brightest was the defiance of the Beat Kids; teenagers playing the hateful music from America, the centre of decadence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark was sucked into that resistance. With a sharp mind for strategy, he found himself thrust into a world he could do without.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough Mark's struggles, Georgia became involved in things she never would have imagined. It happened at an ancient and dilapidated manor house in deepest Kent; the new home of Barbara Leyland, the jilted mistress of the sector commander. That manor had seen much over the years but looked down now on extraordinary scenes as chaos fought order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as the resistance fought the authorities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark unwittingly built a team around him. How would that team react to an arrogant teenager in their midst? Closing ranks to keep Georgia out was an option, but that would depend on how they came to perceive her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd ultimately what she could offer them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're scanning the bookshelves for dystopia, alternative history, love story and thriller all rolled into one, this is a must read for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Oswald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 199978684X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781999786847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Newmore Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.73d","brand":"Chris Oswald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874265084159,"sku":"9781999786847","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-stuff-of-heroes-chris-oswald-9781999786847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
