Leo Hunt was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1991. He grew up around books, and his mother's job at Seven Stories in Newcastle left a strong impression on his choice of career. He realised he wanted to either be an author or an archeologist - but when he learned that archaeologists didn't unearth piles of perfectly preserved dinosaur bones every time they put a spade in the ground, he decided on the former. Leo started writing Thirteen Days of Midnight when he was 19, in his first year at the University of East Anglia. He graduated in 2014 with a First Class Honours degree in American Literature and Creative Writing. He currently lives in London.
An exciting speculative thriller with plenty of plot twists and
some cool tech that you won't find elsewhere. Sentient AIs, a world
post water wars, a courageous but reckless central character come
together to offer a satisfying and pacy read.

hi-tech dystopian thriller that slaloms effortlessly around the

Phantom is a well-thought out YA sci-fi thriller with strong
world-building and interesting characters. There's a fascinating
moral dimension to the concepts of high-end artificial intelligence
that's central to the plot, but despite all the futuristic
elements, Phantom remains firmly grounded in an all too believable
world.
