Concept

When the author was approached by Pearson PLC to contribute to the Heroes series he thought about the violent books on the market and wanted to write something powerful and dramatic.[1] It is also inspired by Hinton's nephew Joey Lager, to whom the novel is dedicated, playing video games.[2]
