Publisher Description The challenge of the Coast to Coast was for the whole PE class to get itself from one side of the island to the other in under six days. 'Where to?' 'The bush,' I croaked. 'Hide.' We cut back to the right, down off the track, crashing through the undergrowth and sliding down steep slopes. After a couple of minutes we stumbled to a stop, pressed in close . we waited and listened, the others with their heads bursting with questions, mine spinning with answers I didn't want to believe. Marko surfaces from a drug induced haze to find himself hidden from the world in a psychiatric ward. He is certain the 'Doctor' means to kill him, but he in turn has vengeful plans of his own. Who are these people and what happened to the others? Who can Marko trust and how much time does he have? Time enough to write it all down, his story of a coast to coast trip and the earthquake which ripped his world apart. A 'top-notch thriller' Author Biography Bernard Beckett has a degree in Economics, and has taught in the Wellington region for several years. He has published a book of non-fiction (Falling for Science: Asking the Big Questions (2007)), and eight novels, for which he and has won many awards. His novel Genesis (2006), which won the Young Adult Category in the 2007 NZ Post Book Awards, made publishing history in 2008 when UK publisher Quercus Books offered the largest advance ever put forward for a young adult novel in New Zealand. The novel is to be released in the UK as two separate editions: adult and young adult, and is to be published - at this date - in over 20 countries. Bernard currently lives in Wellington with his wife, Clare Knighton (his co-author on Deep Fried). |
