A fast-paced and exciting post-apocalyptic adventure; sequel to Red
Fever.
Toby's dad and little sister have been kidnapped by pirates, and Toby is
left alone in the aftermath of the terrible Red Fever epidemic, which
has wiped out much of the world's population. Menacing tribes of
super-intelligent dogs are gaining ever more ground in Scotland, moving
northwards. A mysterious figure called The General is leading a group of
villains who are kidnapping people and imprisoning them in a place he
calls New Caledonia. But where is this New Caledonia and what does The
General plan to do with his captives?
Toby sets out on a perilous mission to find New Caledonia and, he hopes,
his family. He befriends a Russian girl whose family have also been
taken. Together they travel through the snowy Scottish Highlands, until
they reach Stirling Castle for the dramatic final showdown. But in a
freezing cold winter, with vicious dogs, wolves and pirates on the
rampage, will they make it in time?
This is the dramatic sequel to Red Fever, which won the Kelpies Prize.
