This would have to be the best book I have ever read. It also is an Australian Author who wrote it. The story had an intresting storyline, along with interesting, well described charecters, each having a differant personality. The story went all over the known world with the charecters, and because ther's a map, you can follow them as they go. This book, the first of THE OUTCAST TRILOGY, definitely gives you an idea of what the other 2 books will be like, and makes you want to read them! An exellent book to read over and over again!
