After the First Death
Series :
Puffin Modern Classics
Description
On the outskirts of a small American town, a bus-load of young children is being held hostage. The hijackers are a cold and ruthless group, opposed to the secret government agency Inner Delta. At the centre of the battle are three teenagers. Miro is the terrorist with no past and no emotions. Kate is the bus driver, caught up in the nightmare, and Ben is the General's son who must act as a go-between. This is a tense drama, with death being the only escape.Author description
Robert Cormier became a full-time writer after the successful publication of his first novel for teenagers, THE CHOCOLATE WAR, published in the UK in 1975, followed by others such as I AM THE CHEESE and FADE. He was concerned about the problems facing young people and this was reflected in his novels. He soon established a reputation as a brilliant and uncompromising writer. Robert Cormier lived in Massachusetts, USA before his death in 2000.
