Sci-fi brother-sister story with a difference

Ooh a bit different.

This was an interesting Audible choice, as I didn't know much about it when selecting it, only the author - who I tend to go for based on his excellent previous books - so the plane crash premise start felt conventional, with two young survivors.

But the plot doesn't want this to remain a simple survival-in-the-wild novel, this is science fiction. There are X-Files-esque bad guys, who are following the children. Why?

We have a chase/survival story that unravels itself into revealing the sci-fi heart of the plot, and without giving anything away, I will simply say that I really liked the interplay between the brother and sister, the fantastical elements of the pre-story and the quick movement towards civilisation and wrap-up.

I may have followed the back-and-forth time gaps better on paper, audio doesn't always lend itself easily to that, but I did enjoy the female narrator and the immediacy of her storytelling.

Not my favourite Lake, but definitely worth the time, and a good fast-moving cross-genre thriller.

With thanks to Nudge for providing a sample Audible copy.
