Book description
Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. The
Ketty Jay has been fixed up good as new. They've got their first taste
of fortune and fame. And, just for once, nobody is trying to kill them.
Even Trinica Dracken, Frey's ex-fiancée and long-time nemesis, has
given up her quest for revenge. In fact, she's offered them a job - one
that will take them deep into the desert heart of Samarla, the land of
their ancient enemies. To a place where the secrets of the past lie in
wait for the unwary.
Secrets that might very well cost Frey everything.
Join the crew of the Ketty Jay on their greatest adventure yet: a story
of mayhem and mischief, roof-top chases and death-defying races,
murderous daemons, psychopathic golems and a particularly cranky cat.
The first time was to clear his name. The second time was for money.
This time, Frey's in a race against the clock for the ultimate prize: to
save his own life. Chris Wooding has already signed his first
Hollywood film deal and won several awards for his writing. He is the
author of, amongst others, the Broken Sky
series, which has sold over 200,000 copies in the US alone, and The
Haunting of Alaizabel Cray
, which won the Silver Smarties award. He has travelled extensively,
plays bass and guitar and has recorded several albums with various bands
and toured in Europe. His books have been published all over the world
and translated into 19 languages, and his Braided Path
trilogy for Gollancz was a critical and international success. He is
currently working on two movies with a top Hollywood director. His Ketty
Jay novels are critical and international hits.
