The Unnumbered

gut, keine Mängel

The city has brought them together, the city could tear them apart....
Contemporary London. You know what that's like. But there's another London too, another race; the streets are swirling with them. They have no jobs, no driving license, no social security, no identity of any sort. They pass us every day. The unnumbered. Nio is an unnumbered. He's twenty-three, and Greek. He's built a home for himself in Codfall Woods, with a roof for a floor and a floor for a roof. It's his secret, but not for much longer. it's coming to get him.

Then there's dark-eyed Mila. She's fifteen and lives with her parents in three caravans parked off the Circular Road. She's an unnumbered too, like her little brother, but she'sjust bought herself an identity, and works as a checkout girl. It's a start. She's smart. She's going to reach the stars someday. She can feel it in the air.
Lucas Tooth can sense it too, He works his charm on all these women: the hopeful, the sad, the desperate. ....

London, unnumbered
