Young Adult Fiction

'You have to do it, Berry. You must believe me when I tell you that the safety of the world depends upon you . . .' A page-turning, high action, road trip adventure novel which travels from England to the New Mexico desert. Berlin, 1945: A Nazi scientist is captured and forced to work for the Americans.

New Mexico, 1947: A renegade FBI agent is hunted down by his former colleagues, but disappears into thin air before he can be arrested.

England, 2007: an old man throws himself in front of a bus to save the life of a teenager - and walks away unscathed. Alone and on the run from Social Services, 14-year-old Berry has nowhere to go. Until the old man who saves her life entrusts her with a package containing a mysterious item. Other people also want the item and will stop at nothing to get it. Pursued by the FBI and a vicious terrorist group, Berry travels from the Glastonbury Festival and across the Atlantic. With fellow outcast, Elle, by her side, they are soon dodging bullets in a desperate race across America. Berry knows that she must stay alive long enough to find the item's rightful owner - whoever, or whatever, they may be.

"'It's been a while since anything as much fun as Steve Voake's The Starlight Conspiracy came along.' The Times"

Steve Voake grew up in Midsomer Norton, near Bath. After leaving school he sold ice-creams in the south of France for a while and once spent a memorable summer travelling across America, where much of The Starlight Conspiracy is set. Before becoming a full time writer, Steve was headteacher of a village school in Somerset. In order to find time to write his first novel, The Dreamwalker's Child, he used to get up at 3 a.m. and work for several hours before anyone else was awake. He lives with his family in Somerset.
