NICK ATEN IS BACK!
AND HIS STORY CONTINUES – IN A WORLD FULL OF VIOLENCE, DANGER, AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Nick Aten meets a group of fellow survivors. They prepare to return to his settlement, but what happens next changes everything.
Nick finds himself on a ship with new friends – and old enemies – drifting downstream through a shattered land that is now the domain of human bones and cities lying in ruin.
When Nick explores a ghost town, he finds certain individuals who will force him to reassess his understanding of what the Creosotes are…and what transformation he might face in his own life. Once again, murderous adults are getting closer. This time they just might be far more dangerous than he could have ever believed.
And not only the adults are dangerous. Not every young person is automatically an ally.
And, soon, it will be time to Carry the Can again. A game that is far from fun…and so often lethally explosive.
THIS THIRD BOOK ROUNDS OFF AN ERA WITHIN THE BLOOD CRAZY WORLD,
AS UNPREDICTABLE EVENTS ERUPT, LEADING UP TO A VIOLENT AND TRULY HAIR-RAISING CLIMAX!
‘Blood Crazy is one of my favourite books, and I was leery of a sequel. Fortunately I was wrong […] I easily fell back into the Blood Crazy world. […] The book continues rolling and never loses momentum. I read this over one weekend. Simon Clark remains one of the best, and I highly recommend this book and eagerly await the next one.’ – Regina Garza Mitchell, author of Shadow of the Vulture
‘As well as being an effective horror series then, Blood Crazy is a highly creative and thought-provoking look at a post-apocalyptic situation that is akin to a viral disaster, and the writing in this book is as good as ever. […] If there is a mind virus that is affecting Creosotes, Simon Clark has his own way of getting inside your head and convincing you into accepting the rationale for what has happened. […] by the end of Blood Crazy: Aten in Absentia, we are definitely in new territory and at a stage that will have you longing to find out how things develop in the company of charismatic characters like Jack Ranzic, Nick Aten, Martin Del-Coffey, and, dare I say it, even Myra.’ – Noel Megahey, To The Last Page
