If you knew savage rats were lurking in the tunnel, would you run into it?
What if it was the only way to escape to freedom in time to witness the birth of your first child?
This is the dilemma that Ralph Whistler faces in this dark comedy.
What started as a relaxing day out ends badly when he gets chased into the bay by an angry mob.
He is rescued by a passing fishing boat.
The bad news is the boat is headed out to sea for six weeks and refuses to turn around.
The even worse news in this funny novel is the skipper is dodgy, the deckhand is dim and the two stowaways on board are wanted criminals.
Ralph can’t stand the thought he’ll have to be on this boat for six weeks with this bunch — and miss the birth of his first child.
He needn’t have worried though.
They all end up on an island ruled by a gun-toting old man, and that’s when Ralph’s real problems begin.
This book was previously published as Escape from Mad Bill's Island but it has had a facelift. It is now is the third in the Funny Capers DownUnder series but holds up fine as a self-contained standalone.
