There are many things that have since been forgotten about those terrible years. We had to forget just to be able to move freely into the future. But back then, when the country was on the brink, and hard choices had to be made, we did what we had to do. We rounded up the immigrants and the homosexuals and locked them away. We used Larkhill Resettlement Camp to do our very worst. We performed biological experiments on the prisoners, and they died. Some went rather quickly, a small mercy perhaps, but others died a slow and agonising death. All except one man. The man in cell number five who would break out and seek revenge upon his captors and tormentors. A man with a vendetta. For Valerie. For Evey. For justice. Fiction. 265 pages.
