Steampunk meets the Second World War in Shroom Raider, a gripping saga of war between a world above and a world below. Follow Icarus Earthstar through death-defying leaps into the unknown, savage battles against a merciless enemy, and a quest to solve the most important mystery of all: “Who am I?” For readers aged 9-12. For fourteen bitter years the Vertical War has raged between the stalactite nation of New London and their dreaded enemies, the stormtroopers of Neufundland, below. And Icarus Earthstar has run wild with his street urchin friends, until the day they nearly kill a policeman. And then Icarus discovers that having a General for a father can’t always get you out of jail for free... Icarus must choose between jail, and joining the Shroom Raiders – elite soldiers who drop down and carry the war to the Neufundland legions. In a world without flight the Shroom Raiders fall from above, on fungee cords a mile long, to thwart their enemies’ plans to invade. For Neufundland is greater, and stronger, and all it desires is to bridge the gap to the stalactite above, and bring the free people of New London under its fascist yoke... Icarus is still running from the brutal Sergeant Gus, from an Army family who stand for everything he has kicked against, and from the tragedies of his past. But in a deadly vertical world where tyranny and freedom clash… where every truth Icarus holds dear about family, friends and foes can shatter like a landslide… and where the only way out is up or down, he can’t keep running forever... "Brilliant stuff. Highly original and exciting world, with an exciting, action filled story with characters you'll miss when the story is over. Andrew Murray is a treasure of a children's author, writing steampunk fantasy for kids. If you love an adventure story, then this is for you!"
