A Fate Worse Than Beath

Beschreibung

I'm not Elizabeth any more. That was my scared name. I'm Beth, but not the normal spelling. I'm B E A T H - like death, but a better option. Beath and her band of fellow survivors would give anything for a normal day of school. Even a maths test would be better than what's on the lesson plan these days - zombies, zombies and more zombies. Ever since the RiZing began, there's been one traumatic event after another - not least of all the apocalyptic farts that trail in Sonny's wake. But if the gang thinks the worst is over, well #wrong. Their fellow survivors are getting desperate and ruthless. And a new wave of disgusting monsters is about to ramp up hell on earth. But where there's evil at work, there's also good magic, and Beath and her friends are slowly charging up, one by one. Will it be enough to save them?

Autor

Like the legendary R M Williams, Matt was born in Jamestown in rural South Australia. But that's where the remarkable similarities between the two end. While Reginald went from bushman to world-renowned millionaire outback clothing designer, Matt is a complete dag who was lured by the city lights of Adelaide. Kindergarten in the big smoke was a culture shock, but it was here he first discovered his love of storytelling. In high school that love found an outlet in a series of completely unflattering cartoons about fellow students and teachers alike. He survived long enough to turn his art into a successful career in multimedia design but, like a zombified leech, the lure of the written word gnawed at him, forcing him to pen his first novel, the award-winning sci-fi comedy epic Kings of the World. It was followed the next year by Amazon Australia dystopian sci-fi best-seller Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor. Matt donates part proceeds of each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects the youngest of his three children, Abby. As a gorgeous Rett angel, Abby cannot walk, talk or use her hands in a meaningful way. So not only is each book purchase a ticket to fantastically rounded, character-driven, hilarious and poignant sci-fi awesomeness, it also wraps you in a warm feeling of knowing you've made a difference to people who deserve your help the most. Like the zombified leech, it's a no-brainer.
