From the desolate reaches of space, the Roar has smelled the children of Earth and her hunger knows no bounds. Children from all over the world are rushing to Coldharbour. Here, Milo, a silver boy the size of cities, has emerged as the first great defender against the Roar. But where will the second generation come from?
