Time Stops Ticking - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Life rushes on. Do we make every second count, or want to stop time ticking by? China, desperate to secure its status as the world’s new superpower, develops a plan that threatens the stability of the West. This situation should be a world away from four disconnected school friends who, while embarking on a re-bonding cycling holiday, cannot avoid coming face-to-face with it. It’s a ride into the heart of the People’s Republic, but instead of strengthening their unity, suspicion grows at every turn, love grows, trust disintegrates, until their very existence is threatened. Time Stops Ticking is a novel very much of our times, set vividly against the dramatic backdrop of a China that most tourists never experience – rural, raw, and real. Gray, author of Blinkered, writes with a powerful narrative, and a multi-perspective of a country and its people as a backdrop to a fascinating love-hate interaction between the story's principal characters. A feast of high-octane drama with twists a-plenty for the cycling Brits along their switchback route of friendship.
