Science Fiction
Peter Liney honed his strong narrative skills and
attention
to detail during his long career as a writer of German,
Australian, British, and South African television and
radio
programs. In his debut novel, The Detainee, Liney has
crated
a dystopian world in which the state has gone bust and can
no longer support its weakest members. The Island is a place of hopelessness. The Island is
death.
And it is to this place that all the elderly and infirm
are
shipped, the scapegoats for the collapse of society.
There’s
no escape, not from the punishment satellites that deliver
instant judgment for any crime—including escape attempts—
and
not from the demons that come on foggy nights, when the
satellites are all but blind. But when one of the Island’s
inhabitants, the aging "Big Guy" Clancy, finds a network
of
tunnels beneath the waste, there is suddenly hope—for
love,
for escape, and for the chance to fight back.
