The follow up to: Children of the Kraal, Kingdom of the Kraal and Revenge of the Kraal.
This funny, tragic and action packed novel is the fourth in this thrilling series set in a world where the humans have been enslaved by the Kraal and the only resistance is from the Vadors the rebel band of children. The Vadors seem to be winning on all fronts but then they have a major disaster where they lose forty of their band. Then they learn that the Kraal are bringing in 100 Warrior Kraal from Australia to beat them and have to go all out to defeat this new threat. A world filled with brave warrior children and Kraal monsters and Stingers and Giggle Hooks and Molten Scobies! But also filled with humour and love affairs and laughter and A & R’s potent Apple Ale!
The novel is full of action but concentrates more on the personalities of the children who have to learn to form a society without the guidance of adults, how to organize, to establish discipline and all the problems of relationships and sex. A heart-warming novel with many nail biting scenes and some very tragic moments.

It hurt, fighting a Tessaa, it stuck so fast it nearly took your skin off, but Jessica didn't seem to notice. Tom reached for his grapnel and tossed the rope end to her.  She grabbed it and he started a strong pull, leaning his body against the strain.  At first nothing seemed to be happening then slowly, oh so slowly, she started oozing towards him. 'Come on Jess,' he urged.  'Pull.' 'Walk away with it,' she gasped.  'Use your body weight to pull me out ...'  She broke off staring past him.  He caught her gaze and whirled around: a Hunter Kraal was standing only metres away.  If a Kraal could grin this one would be grinning now. 'That's it Tom, forget it,' she said, standing upright.  She tossed the free end of the rope to him.  'You make for the Homestead now.' 'Don't be daft, you're nearly free.' 'No, it's only waiting for me to come closer and it'll get us both in its catch-net,' and her voice was absolutely level.  Tom glanced at the Kraal again, it was true, it had its net-launcher in its hand but it wasn't using it. 'I can't just leave you,' he said. 'No!  Got your bow?' 'Of course.'  He unslung the bow from his shoulder. 'Shoot me.'  She tapped her chest.  'Here ... quickly now.' 'What?  No!' 'Come on Tom.  Do it!  Don't leave me for the Kraal.' 'No, they'll only capture you.' 'That's why, now shoot me damn you!' and for the first time her voice rose in desperation. 'No!'  He slung the bow back on his shoulder. 'Well, clear off then, you wimp!' she cried.]]> A very fast paced Sc Fi novel by a bestselling author.
