Synopsis

When a Pincent Pharma lorry is ambushed by the Underground, its contents come as a huge surprise - not drugs but corpses in a horrible state. It appears Longevity isn't working and the drugs that are supposed to guarantee eternal youth are failing to live up to their promise. A virus is sweeping the country, killing many in its wake, and Longevity is powerless to fight it. When Richard Pincent of Pincent Pharma suggests that the Underground has released the virus, something has to be done to alert everyone to the truth and put the story straight once and for all.

Media Reviews
Praise for The Declaration: `A well-imagined and endlessly thought-provoking story' * Sunday Times *
Praise for The Legacy: `Malley's new novel finally clinches the argument as to the merits, or otherwise, of longevity and eternal life. Initially, a world, in which illness and disease have become things of the past may have such attractions as to seem beyond criticism: but what is to happen when the longevity-inducing drugs begin to lose their potency? Malley's response is to create one of the most cleverly constructed `David against Goliath, Good against Evil' confrontations in young adult dystopian fiction, the main strength of which lies in the richness and the humanity of its characterisation' * School Librarian *
