Synopsis

The borders have been closed for 700 years.

Elias has been arrested for crossing into the forbidden zones.

Barrak must end his self-imposed exile and return to the city, to get to the bottom of his young friend's disappearance.

He finds the capital tense with talk of rebellion and security chief, Meldrick; tightening his grip on power. Allying himself with Jasmyn - the feisty and beautiful astrologer he has known since childhood - Barrak becomes witness to a conspiracy at the core of the military establishment.

But power is not all Meldrick wants ...he also wants Jasmyn.

When parliament is suspended and martial law imposed; Barrak and Jasmyn are cast as enemies of the new order. They must flee Eyre.

As they travel east they will learn that humankind has re-invented itself in surprising ways, since the Fall; from gentle hunter gatherers living off the land; to blood-thirsty bandits with an appetite for slaves and flesh. Strangest of all are the aesthetically militaristic easterners whose city is built amongst the ancient ruins of a vast harbour city.

If they can survive ruthless bandits; man-eating predators and the attentions of a charismatic rescuer, turned terrifying monster; they might yet perish in an unforgiving wilderness before reaching their goal.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born in Geelong, south west of Melbourne, Australia, Stuart Rosson was educated at Geelong College and Deakin University. After a Bachelor of Science and a brief foray into molecular biology, he studied journalism before landing a job as the medical and science writer for the Sun News Pictorial in Melbourne. Throughout the mid to late 80's he covered news and feature stories relating to every aspect of science, health and medicine. Returning from overseas in 1989, he purchased a restaurant - casting himself as manager and chef of a small French eatery. The restaurant was listed in the Age Good Food Guide but, fell victim to the localised recession which followed the collapse of Geelong's home-grown building society. Moving to Torquay on the Surfcoast, he spent most of the 90's managing the mountainwear division of a local surf company, where he was often co-opted into writing marketing copy for the global corporation. After leaving the Surf Industry he studied natural medicine and astrology, and went on to practice as a naturopath until 2009. He claims the idea for 'East' came to him whilst up a ladder cleaning out the gutters at my mother's house. By the time he came down the ladder he had the 'bare bones' of the plot for all three books. The first book in the trilogy was completed a few years ago, but went on the shelf whilst he built himself a house in Torquay. Now after being edited by accomplished local editor, Nan McNab, East will be released at the end of November 2018.
