Night Highway

by Allen Coskerie

One Friday afternoon, Steve and Mark Cross head off on an adventurous father and son weekend in the Australian bush. The long drive provides plenty of time to shake off the weekday woes, have a few laughs and soak up the rugged landscape. In the early hours of the morning, as they near their destination in a remote part of the country, through the endless darkness of the ‘night highway’, they notice a dull light on the road up ahead.

As they get closer to the light, it becomes painfully apparent that something is not right. What unfolds from that point will see Steve, Mark and others, encounter a group of locals who subject them to sinister and relentless demands, over and over. If they are to survive, they’ll need to push themselves beyond all physical, mental and emotional boundaries. Either way, life will never be the same.

I could not put this book down and was hooked from the opening line. You will get so invested in the characters and may even find yourself feeling sorry for one of the bad guys! This unique story had me constantly on the edge of my seat. As the point of view switches between characters throughout, I became invested in each person’s individual journey and constantly wondered how it would culminate. You will not be disappointed with the ending. I’m already looking forward to reading more from Allen, he is clearly a very talented author!
