Fantastic follow-up
I wouldn't recommend reading this before 'Northern Lights' by the same author - it really does follow on and you may get quite lost if you don't!

"He is a murderer."
Will has just killed a man. He's on the run. His escape will take

own, and together they must find the most powerful weapon in all
the worlds...
