Know More
Home. It was going to be the end of their journey. The answers to all the questions, the fears, the doubts.
A place that, for better or worse, would bring peace.
Not this.
Harlan clings to life, saved by the desperate ministrations of Theo and Sheila. But their every move is watched. Shadowed. For a master plan is at play that none of them understand, and it is only a matter of time before their enemy strikes again.
Beryl finds herself in a familiar place, facing a familiar foe. Stripped of all she holds dear, trapped amongst fanatics, she is slowly losing the will to fight. Alone but for the last person she thought she’d find as her companion.
Jessica.
A child’s life hangs in the balance. Which means the time for self-pity is over. The time for despair is over. The time to worry about their own survival is over.
It’s time to kill.
Choices will be made as all is sacrificed in this gripping final installment to the Unbound Trilogy.
A Word from the Author
Life has a way of taking over. Best laid plans will often come to naught, and there are times when you are gifted a second chance. Writing The Man wasn’t just about carrying these characters to the ending, it really was about exploring the adaptability of the human spirit. If you face something horrible, or do something horrible, or are part of something horrible…can you find a way to carry on? Or do you cling to what you were in your old life? Or aspects of your old self? Or, like many of the characters, do you live in a world of denial? As much as The Man is a story of despair and fear, love and hope, water and fire… It’s also about the importance of knowing yourself.
