Matt Hammond, Welcome. Tell us something interesting about your book, Milkshake, why do you think people love this book, and what do you think they love about it, also tell us what people say, and in which way they find Milkshake useful, does this book end up with a happy ending, I mean are there certain characters who have certain roles in your book, if yes please name a few main characters and describe them in a few lines, tell us anything that you think we should know about Milkshake ? We will post its Amazon links, but please also tell us where else can we buy Milkshake?



Matt Hammond ‎'Milkshake' is a 'what-if' story; Speculative Fiction I think is the proper genre title? New Zealand is a sleepy backwater at the bottom of the world which occasionally attracts attention (like currently in the Olympics). But what if it was really the centre of some global conspiracy? What if ostensibly innocent news items relate to something far more sinister? 'Milkshake' puts New Zealand firmly at the centre of a worldwide attempt by America to develop the world's future source of energy. An innocent man gets caught up and we follow his journey. I visualised the story in cinematic terms and readers have described it as a 'fast-paced ' 'high octane' thriller. Others have commented on the fact it takes a well-known but largely unfamiliar country and makes it familiar to them. There are elements of native Maori culture; in fact the main hero (who doesn't arrive until the second half of the book), is a Maori SAS officer. I tried to make the story as believable as possible. Much of the factual information in the book is correct - just slightly skewed to fit my purpose! The ending is left open with some questions unanswered. I've now dealt with some of those in a sequel 'The Destiny Stone' (which is currently with the publisher for editing). As well as being available exclusively to download via the Amazon link below, 'Milkshake' is available as a paperback, with free worldwide delivery, from the Book Depository website.http://www.amazon.com/Milkshake-ebook/dp/B005UEFCX6/ref=sr_1_7?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1318498069&sr=1-7
