Boone Shepard
Author(s): Gabriel Bergmoser; April Newton (Editor); Joe Lombard (Illustrator); Hilary Jean (Cover Design by)
"This is a true account of certain events that occurred in Scotland in 1965. You might have heard the rumours, whispers of an evil plot involving time travel, dangerous experiments, a secret fortress, a terrible book, famous authors and, regrettably, murder. You might also have heard of heroes who were caught up in this plot, fighting to do the right thing. That sounds a lot more impressive than it actually was. My name is Boone Shepard. I'm here to set the record straight."
Boone is taking a break from writing for The Chronicle newspaper to hunt down and destroy every last copy of a very rare, very dangerous book. But then his editor calls to demand he investigate a missing persons case deep in the Scottish Highlands and he is forced to abandon his personal goals and get back to work. Restless and begrudging, Boone is unprepared when this hunt leads him back to the one story that won't stop chasing him ... his own.
Boone Shepard is the first in a series of young adult novels following the adventures of an Australian expat, errant journalist and accidental hero.
