After two months of isolation in the Australian bush, two brothers discover a new threat – a woman alone.
Shannon and Rohan Scott have retreated to their family’s cabin in the Australian wilderness to escape a virus-ravaged world. But when Denny Cassidy slips under their late-night watch they begin to realise that surviving the world's most deadly virus, Red Queen, might mean nothing if they can't survive an intriguing girl.
In this superb debut, three remarkably drawn characters fuel an utterly compelling read. They are stripped bare and played against each other in a desperate game of survival and search for humanity where there are no promises and no rules.
Bold, stylish and seductive, Red Queen is a character driven, psychological thriller in which we’re never quite sure who is playing who ... it’s full of sexual tension, suspense and danger.
