Sadie Hobbs - Reality TV star and blogger. Loathed and controversial, she urges 'normal' society to fight back against Chester George and the 'feral rats' destroying the city.
The fate of London hangs in the balance. And when the day of reckoning comes, hundreds of thousands of people - including sixteen-year-old Mack Walker - will descend upon the city for the final showdown - and a day that London will never forget.
