Three Bullets is a new title from award-winning author, Melvin Burgess.
The Bloods are in control and they’re desperate to turn Britain into the world they want to see – right, white, Christian supremist. Anyone who they call abnormal is a target. Amidst the chaos of civil war the country is on the move as small militia groups fight each other and a sea of refugees escapes the cities and the pursuing Bloods.
When her home is destroyed in a bombing raid, Marti must strike out on a mission of her own – to save her father and get his vital software into the right hands. But Marti is mixed race and trans and has her three-year-old brother in tow. Crossing into enemy territory could prove suicidal. Yet Marti's enemies haven't reckoned with her indomitable will to survive – and the gun she carries, which has three bullets.
'Melvin Burgess is one of the founding fathers of modern teen fiction.'
Juno Dawson, author of Wonderland
'Burgess is back with a punchy novel about white supremacy and urban warfare... [it reflects] the trend of YA books addressing intersectional issues in ways the adult market struggles to do'
Bookseller
'[Burgess] has a fantastic imagination and draws out adolescent strong emotions very effectively.'
Kit Spring, Observer
