In Black Light, the first in the series, Planet Earth is dying – and a royal prince, a rock musician and a feisty journalist are trying to save it. But they're up against a global corporation, Dekaydence, which has other plans, including The Sticky Rock Café, a chain of environmental meeting places for teenagers with an enticing blend of great music and fashion. But are the cafes as well meaning as they appear?
There are other dark secrets about and within Dekaydence – and not only Tartan Guards, Eye-Spies and wild metal haggoids.
I first met Susie Cornfield - the author of the Dekaydence series at my first Youth Libraries Group Conference in 2008, we had previously corresponded via e-mail as she had written a brilliant Teen environmental awareness, sci-fi adventure novel called Black Light (the first book in the Chronicles of Dekaydence). This was followed up with the sequel Green Fire.
Now, keeping up with technological advancements she has released a prequel on the iOS platform, and until some kind philanthropist donates an iPad to my cause (blatant hint) it is something I will not be able to play with, which is a pity because it looks damn good.
Don't just take my word for it have a look at the promo video below!
