Produktbeschreibung

Geology expert Professor Mike Rackman is studying the Alpine Fault, a 600 km long crack that runs the length of New Zealand's South Island. Every 300 years or so, the fault cracks causing massive earthquakes and tsunami. Mike hopes his studies will help predict the next big one. Unfortunately, he disappears after an accident involving a local hunter.
Jack Stewart and his cat, Chainsaw, have had earlier adventures with the professor where they travelled back in time. Jack thinks the professor has done it again, and is trapped somewhere in the past. He and Chainsaw set out to save him.
They end up in the year 1409, just hours before the fault is about to crack. Not only must Jack save the injured professor, he must also convince the local whanau of the coming disaster. The problem is, if he succeeds then the only way back to the 21st century will be closed for another 300 years.

Eagle Swamp is the second story to feature Jack Stewart, Professor Rackman and Chainsaw. The first was Crown Park. Each adventure can be read independent of the other.

Autorenporträt

Des Hunt was a science and technology teacher for many years, interspersed with periods of curriculum development both in New Zealand and overseas. During this time he had several textbooks published to support the New Zealand curriculum. In recent years he has looked at other ways of interesting youngsters in science, creating computer games and writing non-fiction and fiction with scientific themes.

After living in Auckland for much of his life he moved with his wife, Lynne, to Matarangi on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula. He retired from the classroom in 2007 to concentrate on writing fiction for children. He continues his aims of fostering young peoples' natural interest in the science of their surroundings by visiting schools and libraries where he runs workshops and presentations.
