The Riveting Sequel to the Award-Winning RAIDERS' RANSOM

She survived the epic battle of the raiders on the rough waters that flood England. Now poor fishergirl Lilly is determined to return Lexy, the Prime Minister's kidnapped daughter, to her home. And since his father was killed in the clash, Zeph is equally determined to claim leadership of his family's clan before more savage tribes invade the marshlands. But will the electromagnetic pulse of an omnipotent computer set the world aflame and wipe out all humans so that artificial intelligence can take over the future?! It's up to the unlikely trio of children -- and their petulant, unpredictable gameboard PSAI -- to rage against the machines!

From Flood and Fire

Oars clank in their rowlocks, and the raider boat leaps through the torch-lit water after us. now it ain't mud banks or running aground we've got to worry about. Lexy looks at me, her face thin, her eyes frightened.

"We'll get away, Lilly, won't we?" she asks.

"Course we will," I lie.
