War is raging. Numbers are dwindling. It's a dangerous world for an
underdog. The Underdogs of Spitfire's Rise are falling apart. In
the series' penultimate novel, the remnants of Britain's last army
are called into battle again - this time to avert the violent
deaths of tens of thousands of prisoners. The neurodiverse skills
and defiant bravery of the Underdogs are pitched against the might
of military science and the terrifying Acceleration project.
Meanwhile, Oliver Roth has been offered a promotion that would make
him the second most powerful person in Britain. But it's
conditional on the success of his next mission: the discovery and
annihilation of Spitfire's Rise. The Underdogs fight for the safety
of countless prisoners, clueless that their home is being hunted.
As each side launches their respective attacks, it's only a matter
of time until one triumphs decisively over the other.

One million cloned soldiers. A nation imprisoned. A group of
neurodiverse rebels fighting back. Britain as we know it lies
destroyed. In the aftermath of the most daring military coup in
history, the surviving population is crammed inside giant Citadels,
watched over by an army of cloned soldiers. The hope of a nation
lies in a tiny number of freedom fighters hidden in the abandoned
countryside - most of whom are teenagers who escaped the attack on
their special school. Seen by many as no more than misfits and
'problem children', this band of fighters could never have imagined
the responsibility that now rests on their shoulders. But perhaps
this war needs a different kind of hero. After a lifetime of being
defined by their weaknesses, the teenagers must learn how to play
to their strengths, and become the best they can be in a world that
has never been on their side.
