Post-pandemic dependence on tech is shattered by the glitch, a cyber-attack, which temporarily knocks out power and communication networks. Hoping to escape society, securing a peaceful life off grid, Robin is thwarted, becoming stranded in Oxford when an unexpected second glitch strikes. Desperate to make it back to Caernef Camp, Robin recruits three companions and is joined by a mysterious gate-crasher. Through a series of bizarre circumstances, the group is pulled into a conspiracy. Competing gangs challenge assumptions about progress and prosperity. With the future of society again at stake, who holds the key to stop the glitch?
'Malone's book is more than entertaining. It will heighten your awareness of how vulnerable our civilization has become, and of our own potential for good or evil when the lights go out. I'm not saying I'd welcome such a Glitch. But if it comes, I'll keep Malone's novel (in paperback) close by for inspiration and maybe guidance.' Dan Klefstad, US author and radio host;'I Thoroughly enjoyed reading this from beginning to end. Very current, mixed with a bit of conspiracy, politics and suspense.' Selby Dickinson, Centre Director The Hill End Outdoor Centre;'The story is very relevant to what's going on in the world.' Matt Elofsen, Banbury News and Leamington Courier;'The style of writing packs a punch! Every word counts!' Liz van Santen, musician;'I really enjoyed #stoptheglitch. The idea of cyber-terrorism and the internet 'going down' is a completely believable set-up, and the notion of having to go back a step, to once again need to value low-tech, manual and/or rural skills, is oddly appealing.' Juliet Blaxland, rural architect, writer / illustrator
