3 PART BOOK SERIES -- PART 1: THE ARRIVAL Bloodied and barely conscious a teenage boy wakes up at the side of a railway track in the middle of nowhere. It's night and the dead of winter - bone-chillingly cold. Where he is and how he got there, he doesn't remember. Nor does he remember anything else for that matter - not even his own name. The only clue left behind is a backpack covered in a foot of snow lying next to him. The one thing he knows for sure is that if he doesn't get up and start moving, he's going to freeze to death.
