Zusatztext '... the kind of imaginative! exciting horror thriller that seems all too rare in genre fiction ...' FIVE STAR REVIEW Informationen zum Autor David was born in Bristol and grew up with his two younger brothers between the Cotswolds! Wensleydale and Lincolnshire. Aside from having a huge number of hobbies including: caving! camping! climbing! archery! shooting and music! David also wrote avidly. Although he had his first book published aged 18! it's taken many more years and life experiences to lead to writing The Dead. Seeing two ghosts! being mistaken for a homeless person and almost drowning have given David plenty of food for thought! but it's his family who've been a big inspiration. Now living in rural Somerset with his wife and two boys! David writes full-time and hopes to see ghost number three very shortly. Klappentext Tombs. Hundreds of them.

The Dead don't just want to return! they want Earth for themselves. And it's Lazarus Stone! Keeper of the Dead! who has to stop them. Zusammenfassung Tombs. Hundreds of them.
