SOLD RULE OF CLAW - JOHN BRINDLEY - DOODLED FIRST EDITION BOOK (11)

Rule of Claw is a fantastic book by John Brindley with huge film potential. The team at Doodled Books were hooked from the very first page. This book certainly has worldwide appeal. In America it will be published in Spring 2009 and it's follow up City of Screams will be published in Autumn.

This book is now hard to source in hardback as the paperback version has just been released. Each book we have in stock is signed, lined, dated, doodled and numbered 1 of 1 (see pictures for details). Infact if you look really closely you will see that the cover of the book is stunning as it looks like raptor skin.

ABOUT THE BOOK
A move away from the effervescent over-the-top world of Amy Peppercorn, this is a powerful stand-alone novel in the best tradition of thrillers. We enter a futuristic world and meet a band of sixteen year olds who were dumped in isolation at an early age. They're educated partly by gleaning facts from the few books in their possession, but primarily through their experiences of survival which features death and danger. A new threat emerges when the teens transcend their own rules and eat animal flesh. Ash is kidnapped and becomes a pawn in the power struggles between the formidable raptors. In these beautiful beasts, she glimpses new forms of evolution which make her consider her own humanity. Soon she learns the frightening truth of their origins. And realizes the dangerous implications for herself and her friends.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
