When the KV17 virus kills everyone above the age of seventeen, life becomes a battle of survival for the children left behind. Seeking to escape the escalating violence in the city two sisters, Lexi and Hadley flee to the Australian outback. Finding sanctuary in the small town of Jasper’s Bay they soon realise it is far from safe as a gang of lawless teenagers terrorise the town.
Caught in a bitter feud leading to betrayal, deceit and murder, the girls must quickly uncover who their enemies are, and who they can trust.
In a world drastically changed from everything they once knew; can the sisters learn to adapt before it’s too late?

BookTrail travel to the Australian outback for Rage

The books Seventeen and Rage have a great concept of a world without adults. Teenagers often wish for this but this proves that they should be careful what they wish for.  This book offers a thrilling glimpse into the chaos it would cause if the world was run by the very young and if all adults were no more.

The Australian outback is ideal for this as the setting is dystopian at the best of times and the landscape, raw and visceral. Remote, lonely and seemingly far from civilisation.

“If you want to survive, you’re going to have to learn to be ruthless…”

“No adults, no rules, no protection.”
