The Lake at the End of the World

Diana and her family have fled to the banks of a semi-mythical lake from an ecological collapse which appears to have wiped out everybody else. Hector is a fugitive from a troglodyte dictatorship which has been isolated underground for 50 years. The story of their meeting and of the coming to terms they force upon their evasive kin is told from alternating viewpoints - a device which emphasises the shifting tensions between them. This book provides the independent reader with an enthralling adventure story, embellished with eerie folklore and loaded with topical issues.
