4. Break Point

When young British tennis pro, Joleen Kenzie is diagnosed with a rare terminal illness, she has herself cryogenically frozen at an experimental lab in Seattle, in the hope that one day - perhaps hundreds of years into the future - there will be a cure and she can be revived.

She wakes up to a world divided...

Luther offers Joleen a chance of life, but in return she must agree to live in hiding and be companion to his grand-daughter, Kit.

But Kit reveals that they are both in danger and must escape to find the resistance.

Written by Brett Neichin and John Scott Dryden, the creators of The Cipher and Passenger List, SteelHeads is a chilling medical thriller inspired by true events.
