'A black tunnel began to form around me. My room started to spin. Desperately I tried to cry out but I couldn't make a sound. Then, like shattering glass, I crashed straight through the tunnel and out to the other side.'

Propelled out of his safe, ordinary world, Andrew is caught in the midst of a desolate city, torn apart by vicious gang wars. Here, the rules of survival are simple - you follow the pack, or you die. Dragged into one gang's brutal takeover campaign, Andrew has no choice but to embark on an unthinkable mission, in an attempt to sever the connection between the two worlds forever. If he succeeds, he will destroy everything in his life. But if he fails, hundreds will die - in both worlds.

Editör yorumları

Australian actor Alan King serves up a spine-tingling rendition of this notable sci-fi debut. King’s pace is unhurried (if disquieting), leaving room for this dystopian thriller to breathe - for its unnerving suspense and jilted atmospherics to simmer. As the story’s teenage protagonists, King is brooding, aggravated, and, ultimately, convincing. This welcome entry from Michael Parker was born of the curious notion that the only difference between a school bully and a Nazi thug is their time and place: surely the former would resort to the evil of the latter given the opportunity. Accordingly, Doppelganger offers listeners two Sydneys - one bad, the other worse. An experiment in human depravity, Doppelganger follows in much the same tradition as Lord of the Flies.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Michael Parker's debut reads like a highly addictive computer game." (The Sunday Age)
"This debut science fiction thriller is a refreshing addition to the genre, and Australian narrator Alan King brings the story to life in a compelling and believable reading. With an honest-sounding voice, King gives an everyday tone to this far from ordinary story of Andrew, a man caught between two very different worlds. King's sense of urgency and tension is obvious and well played throughout, and his performance soars with his portrayals of the scores of seedy, underhanded characters that pop up. Offering a variety of sinister voices and differing accents, King demonstrates a colorful palette of narration skills." (AudioFile Magazine)

I wouldn't have chosen this if I'd realised it was for teens rather than an adult readership. I often choose to read YA (young adult) fiction, but this was pretty basic. Not terribly original (Lewis Carroll, anyone?) but an okay read.

young adult novel - for teens only
