THE STORY: In 19th Century America, young railroad hand Johnny and best friend Joko are on the run - from all mankind.

Because the price on Joko's head is higher than that for the capture of any Wild West outlaw. He's Sasquatch; one of the last surviving members of the legendary and elusive Bigfoot race … a goldmine for unscrupulous circus and freak show owners.

For a while, Johnny evades their relentless hunters by protecting Joko in civilisation by passing him off as a moonstruck teenage boy. But when their stalkers get too close for comfort, the desperate runaways take to the wilds, where their roles are reversed as Joko becomes Johnny's protector.

In the wilderness, they meet the famous frontiersman James G. Swan, who takes them under his wing. But can a cunning disguise and modern education prepare the young Bigfoot for a place in the human race?

Much more than a spellbinding adventure for readers of all ages: master story-teller Karl Kofoed seamlessly blends fact and myth to look at the world from two vastly different points of view and examine what it really means to be 'human'.

THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD IS AT STAKE!

Terrorists bury nuclear weapons deep in the massive Antarctic Ross Ice Shelf and threaten to detonate the bombs – causing massive worldwide tidal waves and a catastrophic rise in ocean depths – if the free world doesn't pay a huge ransom.

Climatologist Henry Scott Gibbs, out on the ice shelf studying the aurora, interrupted the terrorists in their lethal task. They shot him and left him for dead, but somehow he survived. Now, as the only witness, he holds the key to saving the world from disaster. In the company of a Navy SEAL task force and FBI staffer Sarah French, he joins the desperate search for the maniac who threatens global destruction. The hunt takes him from the snows of Antarctica to its final bloody climax in a remote Andean hacienda.

Breathlessly exciting, this epic adventure leads Gibbs on a personal quest too – a quest to discover friendship, true love and the untapped depths of his own courage . . .
