Big Fish

Andrew Osmond

Become a ‘backpacker in peril’ on the paradise island of Bora Bora, as one by one your fellow travellers begin to mysteriously disappear…


Innocent abroad Stuart Ward becomes a backpacker in peril when he travels to French Polynesia and the island of Bora Bora as the first stop on a Round-the-World itinerary. Arriving hopeful of adventure and romance, instead Stuart is unwittingly drawn into a conspiracy to cover up a fatal road accident, and he quickly discovers that the beautiful paradise islands are no Eden. Things begin to look even more perilous for Stuart as one-by-one his co-conspirators begin to mysteriously disappear...

You may travel to the ends of the Earth, but you can never travel far enough to escape your own guilt.

For wannabe globe-trotters, armchair travellers and mystery fans, alike.

Altogether a fascinating and interest... view book

Dear Toscka, 'Ballard meets the Beach' brings with it a high expectation, as I am a massive fan of Ballard and a quiet fan of The Beach. Expectations were well and truly met in Shalimar, though. I found your dialogue quickly drew the reader into the story and both the setting and story convincing ... view book

Dear Mark, I have enjoyed the way that you get instantly into the story with The Prophet of Doom, and you quickly establish suspense and a palpable sense of tension for your reader. I like the idea of prophecy being more a curse than a blessing. Who would wish to look into their own future? Altho... view book

"It's just bird poo" has now become an awful Ohrwurm that will not leave me rest. I always enjoy the humour and intelligence of your writing and Knights in the Garden of Spayne is no exception. All the best, Andrew. view book
