Destination thriller set in THAILAND (and London)
GIVEAWAY – 3 copies of The Final Warning – AMERICA
15th November 2020
We are delighted to be able to give away 3 copies of ‘The Final Warning‘, Peter Isdell-Carpenter’s chilling dystopian novel imagining a terrifying threat to post-Trump America.
Trump is history and a popular new President of the United States is left to protect America from a devastating new conspiracy. But can truth and security be restored in a nation now powered by greed and deception?
Peter Isdell-Carpenter’s debut novel The Final Warning – published by Zuleika – shakes up fact and fiction in an arresting and timely contemporary thriller from a master story-teller.
Steeped in conspiracy, diverse characters and an incredibly deft knowledge of American consciousness, it is at times disturbing, at others heart-warming, at times light-hearted and at others unbelievably significant.
As an insidious plot threatens to bring the world’s most powerful country to its knees, the besieged President of the United States of America dares not reveal that American freedom is hanging by a tether. Meanwhile, young White House intern Chuck Pavel is launched terrified into the front line in a desperate effort to forestall the threat before it’s too late.
Is freedom already lost? Or is there something deeper, and far darker, going wrong between the stars and the stripes?
Peter Isdell-Carpenter’s debut novel is a must-have for anyone suffering from news exhaustion, who wonders how it will all end, and what might be next for the fracturing West. The Final Warning is as shocking as it is plausible and will leave you open-mouthed.

#”We got music, it’s always playing, start in the daytime, go all through the night…”#
#”dreams do come true in New Orleans… “#
I must see if it lives up to the disney song!
I’m desperate to go back to New York City. It was magical and I love the sights, sounds, people. I really did leave my heart in New York City.

Oh yes, David. Vegas…a Marmite place: you either love it or hate it, they say, don’t they! Like you, I love it, and haven’t been for 20+ years either. I bet it’s changed a lot since were both there last. TF’s Andrew
I’d love to go to California, where most of the books by one of my favourite authors, TC Boyle, are set.

Various locations; some specific, some not so. One of my favourites is When The Killing’s Done, set on an island off the coast of Santa Barbara. Well recommended. 🙂

Ace!!! Thank you x
Oh yes, Alison…California. Such an interesting and sprawling State. Which area does TC Boyle tend to set his novels in? TF’s Andrew
Illinois- we were in New England when the Clinton -Trump election was only weeks away. We watched one of the head to heads live whilst we were there. We travelled through five states and everywhere was vote Trump or Hilary for Prison. I’d said how scary it would be if Trump got in and I said I’d not visit if he was in power. And we haven’t and we love the states. We met some people from Illinois in the Galápagos Islands and would like to meet them on their home turf.

I would love to take a self-drive trip to Alaska. Untouched wild corner of the world, grizzly bears and humpback whales, a rich gold-mining past.

New York city so I can visit the Brooklyn museum for real. Just been to Brooklyn museum childrens book festival virtually and it was great!

Wow, that sounds like fun, Emma. But you can’t beat the real thing, can you! Hope you get there soon. TF’s Andrew
Really just amywhere in US without fear of COVID-19, and a feeling of increased safety post-Trump.
My first and only stop would be Seattle to visit my daughter and grandchildren as soon as it’s safe I will be there x

And Seattle is supposed to be a wonderful city too, Denise? Hope you can get there to see your family before too much longer. TF’s Andrew
New Orleans for all the history and music!

Oh yes, Megan, New Orleans….what a city. Hope you can visit there soon. TF’s Andrew
I’d love to visit Ohio. I’ve just reunited with my Dad after 30 years but he’s in the USA and I’m in the Uk. He voted for Trump and I’m hoping he’ll prove the votes weren’t completely legal. I’d love to be there when that happens and be with my Dad.
San Francisco would be my first port of call, but I do feel it will be quite some time until I will feel it safe to travel there.

I’d like to visit New York for no other reason than I never got to visit it when I was in the US.

Yes. I am just reading Cobble Hill which is set in Brooklyn and once one has visited all the places on Manhattan, I think it would be wonderful to visit a prober neighbourhood like Cobble Hill (It’s a real place with a shop called The Chocolate Room, now what could be better than that!)
New England!

Sam Diego because it was where I remember meeting the nicest people and seemed the most laid back when I went on a fly drive holiday with my family in 1995!
