Shortlisted for a national award, and now a published book on Amazon! This Wattpad version is now a free preview of a book described as "Mad Max crossed with the Magic School Bus" ... read on to find out more! ***** If it hadn't been for the man in white body paint appearing out of the darkness, my Bus would now be a broken steel carcass in a smoking hole. Someone set a landmine in ambush for the Library vehicle, a mobile repository of information saved from before the War. A beacon of knowledge in the ashes of civilisation, and my sole responsibility. Someone tried to take it from me. To stop the flow of free information. To steal from the people scratching out a living on the dusty frontier, just one cloudship delivery away from desiccation. Now, other Keepers are missing. And not just Keepers. People have been disappearing from camps and settlements scattered across the outback. Why didn't we know about it? The Library is supposed to know everything. That's its whole purpose, to save and share knowledge. Isn't it? I have to warn New Pearth. After all, this is what I was trained for. Though the Library could never have predicted a plot this savage, or this well-organised.But first, with only a psychotic ex-slave and a digital ghost to help, I have to survive the trip... ***** The Knowledge Keeper is perfect for fans of speculative fiction who are looking for a fresh, more optimistic and less dystopian take on a post World War Three and climate change action thriller. Featuring a diverse cast of characters, from cranky airship pilots, snarky AIs, and badass teenage warrior librarians to a snakeskin-tattooed soldier called Gladys, it's been described as "Mad Max meets The Magic School Bus" -- you've never read anything like this before! Contains medium violence, mild language and drug references. Suitable for ages 13 and older.

Under the Province, citizens know only the perfection the Government has to offer. And that's the only world Clara knows; simplicity and technological bliss. So, when Government officials announce the VF program, equipped with the highest artificial intelligence science has to offer, she is all for it. Who wouldn't want a computer assistant that not only takes care of your everyday needs, but is meant to be your bestest friend, too?It sounded as perfect as Province made life out to be. But all good things come with a price. What no one knew about the program meant to mimic the human mind, was that it wanted the human soul.
