Outback is Published

Tomorrow sees the publication of the superb new novel “Outback” celebrating the Centenary of Desmond Bagley’s birth. It was commissioned by HarperCollins Publishers UK from novelist, screenwriter, lyricist and journalist Michael Davies who had proved his mettle updating the long-lost Bagley manuscript for “Domino Island”. The publisher’s faith in Michael was well-founded as he has produced a taut, exciting thriller set in a location the master himself would have relished.
Go get yourselves a copy and enjoy the sun on your back – and the sand in your teeth – with “Outback”.
