AFTER THE FIRST DEATH is a brilliantly tense hostage drama, by
Robert Cormier, the acclaimed author of THE CHOCOLATE WAR. It is
one of The Originals from Penguin - iconic, outspoken, first. On
the outskirts of a small American town, a bus-load of young
children is being held hostage. The hijackers are a cold and
ruthless group, opposed to the secret government agency Inner
Delta. At the centre of the battle are three teenagers. Miro is the
terrorist with no past and no emotions. Kate is the bus driver,
caught up in the nightmare, and Ben is the General's son who must
act as a go-between. The Originals are the pioneers of fiction for
young adults. From political awakening, war and unrequited love to
addiction, teenage pregnancy and nuclear holocaust, The Originals
confront big issues and articulate difficult truths. The collection
