REVIEWS:
“An incredible thriller with the perfect twist! I adored this book. John Targett is my newest character crush! Someone Else’s Life delivers on every front. It's delightful, witty, dangerous, and thought-provoking. The danger level is high throughout the novel, constantly raising the stakes and potentially making the reader breathless as events unfold. It's thrilling, and absolutely ends on the best possible note.” Kat Cohen, Reviewer.
“Wow - this book is so much FUN! Great characters and a high-octane story that rips along until the twist you won't see coming on the last page. John Targett is an impressive new hero - tough and yet tender; highly skilled and often very funny. His laugh-out-loud interactions with his teenage daughter were one of my highlights.” Darren Box, Amazon Review.
“A fast-paced easy read. Action packed with lots of twists and interesting characters, and clever humour. First time I’ve finished a book in a week. Couldn’t put it down!” Rob McKeown, Amazon Review.
A dying world. A desperate mission. An unlikely hero.
In the normal course of events, Zac Perryman was destined to live an unremarkable life and die without leaving more than the faintest ripple in the ocean of humanity’s existence. But the normal course of events was about to be rudely interrupted. As he slept past his alarm on a warm February morning, events were conspiring to derail his ordinary life and sweep him up into a tsunami of cosmic proportions.
Zac becomes part of ragged band of desperate survivors who flee from a dying Earth in search of a new home. Leaving behind a planet that has been decimated by global catastrophe, they set course for a distant star system on board mankind’s only surviving starship. But the universe plays a cruel joke on them. Awakening from cryogenic stasis, they discover that they have not only travelled through space, but through time as well. Now facing even deadlier threats from a strange world, their battle for survival is only just beginning. An exciting, intelligent, fast-paced adventure that spans the galaxy.
