Opis

It's the End of the World as we know it. Edison Hawthorne is about to be vaporised in a hail of reality-fracturing missiles launched by a mysterious alien known only as The Entity. Edison's one chance of survival lies in a large, hi-tech egg built by his mother, an inventor whose name is a by-word for cowardice. The egg does its job. Edison survives the destruction of his city. But when he wakes up an unknown length of time later, Edison discovers that the world he has hatched into has gone utterly, completely and totally insane. Humanity has been bombed back to the Stone Age. People are unaware of the concept of chocolate. Edison is as blue as a peacock. And his phone thinks it is as human as he is, and no longer wants to be his slave... A world populated by goblins, robots, musketeers, and paladins. A story of magic, time travel, heroism and bewilderment. Edison Blue mixes dry humour, high-octane action, and a smartphone that refuses point-blank to do anything useful unless you ask it nicely. Edison must first win the trust of Lexi, the scarred girl who dug him out of the rubble. Then he has to set about finding his mother. After that, the only thing standing between Edison and his dream of settling down and re-inventing lemonade is the small matter of the mysterious Entity, which after all these years is apparently still obsessed by its desire to exterminate humanity ...
