The Enemy

Product Information

David didn't appear care what happened to others as long as he could achieve his own objectives. He was also quite delusional, as he thought that the shambling Royal Family could help him get support to rule London. David pompously expected people to do as he said and cared incredibly about his image, shown during the duel between Achilleus and Just John, he begins to make a speech and protests when the fight begins before he can even get started. He constantly lost his temper when things did not go his way, or if people assumed correct things about him that he simply didn't believe. He was also very petty, as he was bent on making life hell for Brooke for leaving him and his group at Lambeth Bridge. [4] Knife: Achilleus uses a knife on occasion, such as when his spear is unavailable or when he needs to gut animals. Greg and Liam Thorne are invited to Paul MacLaren's farm in Maidstone to wait out the outbreak. [3] Stupid premise, but good cast that sold it. This is not an Emmy award winning show, but to my surprise I did enjoy it. I will watch more, but expect this to be cancelled soon. Archie Bishop - A large boy and Matt's right hand man.

Pretty much everything I’ve ever done has always started with writing. So when I was in a band I was writing songs, I got into TV by being a writer, and over the years if I’ve ever had a clash between a performing job and a writing job I’ve always gone with the writing job. It’s what I enjoy doing most. Small Sam - A boy of nine, he is small for his age and enjoys fantasy. He is kidnapped early on in the first book and hopes to return to his sister and friends of the Holloway Crew. He is good friends with a boy his age known as The Kid. He uses a pin and later a sword as a weapon and wears armour. He is one of the few characters to have appeared in almost all the books of the series. He is considered the Lamb in Matt Palmer's religion. Brendan Eldridge - A boy from the Tower, he is exiled by Jordan for stealing food which he gave to a girl to impress her. He is well liked in the Tower, but seems largely viewed as a coward.

He is fifteen at the end of The Enemy, with his birthday the following day. The weather is sunny.

They encounter Carl of The Squatters and Ryan Aherne's group of hunters, who save them from the Gym Bunnies and give them better directions.

Well I really like writing for The Kid because he’s sort of half-nuts. I can have fun with language and references. Quite a lot of the characters in the books have syndromes but they’re not spelled out, so I have this idea that The Kid has this condition that he remembers every little thing people have said to him. He stores up all these phrases and lines of information in his head and then it all comes spewing out, even if he doesn’t necessarily understand it all. His brain is wired differently. He’s a lot of fun to write, and I can put in references to things I like such as Captain Beefheart songs. Kyle - Kyle is one of Ed's lieutenants in the guard section of the Tower and acts as his personal bodyguard, constantly following him about. He is described with a bit of a squared head and also being very tough and a good fighter. He has dyslexia and is heavily implied to be a sociopath. The good, nice characters are always a challenge to make interesting but it’s not something one should shirk away from. Charlie Higson started writing when he was ten years old.
