In 1795 a convict ship leaves England for New South Wales in
Australia. Nearing its destination, it encounters a savage storm
but, miraculously, their battered ship stays afloat and limps into
Sydney Harbour. Here, the convicts rebel, overpower the crew and
make their escape, destroying the ship in the process. Fleeing the
sinking vessel with only the clothes on their backs, the survivors
struggle ashore. Among the escaped convicts, seething resentments
fuel an appetite for brutal revenge against their former captors
while, for their part, the crew attempts to track down and kill or
recapture the escapees. However, it soon becomes apparent that both
convicts and crew have more to concern them than shipwreck and a
ruthless fight for survival; they have arrived in Sydney in 2017.
TimeStorm is a thrilling epic adventure story of revenge, survival
and honour set in a strange new world of unfamiliar technology and
equally unfathomable social norms. In the literary footsteps of
Hornblower, comes Lieutenant Christopher 'Kit' Blaney, an
old-fashioned hero, a man of honour, duty and principle, dragged
into the 21st century - literally. A great fan of the grand
seafaring adventure fiction of CS Forester, Patrick O'Brien and
Alexander Kent, and modern action thriller writers such as Lee
Child, Steve Harrison combines several genres in his debut novel.
The book was inspired by a replica 18th century sailing ship on
Sydney Harbour and a question from Steve's brother, Tony: "What if
that was a real convict ship?" TimeStorm explores that question in
a fast-paced story as a group of desperate men from the 1700s clash
in 21st century Sydney.
