10-03 The Long Way Home - Andrew Klavan
Updated Feb 23, 2010
International best-selling author Andrew Klavan brings debut YA series to new heights with second installment, The Long Way Home.
(Nashville, TN) Andrew Klavan, the Edgar Award-winning author of Don't Say a Word and True Crime, will continue his best-selling young adult series with THE LONG WAY HOME (February 2010; Thomas Nelson; $14.99 Printed Case Hardcover; 978-1-59554-713-2), the second book in The Homelanders series and the follow-up to the best-selling first installment, The Last Thing I Remember.
Hailed by Stephen King as "the most original novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich," Klavan has created a cast of characters in The Homelanders whose cinematic appeal is nothing short of spectacular.
After extensive national coverage on Klavan and The Last Thing I Remember (Washington Times, Denver Times, World, Fox and Friends, The Glenn Beck Show, The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Mike Gallagher Show, The Jerry Doyle Show, TheDailyBeast.com, BigHollywood.com, FrontPage Magazine.com, etc.), THE LONG WAY HOME is sure to become a hot media topic, with its strong patriotism angle during a period of cultural and political unrest on the national and the international stage.
Klavan's thought-provoking op-ed pieces for the Wall Street Journal and the L.A. Times sparked debate on the issues of conservatism, patriotism, and cultural ideologies. With the release of THE LONG WAY HOME, Klavan continues the conversation through the medium of fiction.
THE LONG WAY HOME picks up the story where The Last Thing I Remember left off—the story of Charlie West, an ordinary high school kid who went to bed one night and woke up in the clutches of terrorists and wanted by the police for murder. Once the quintessential "good kid" in his school and his community, Charlie is now an outsider looking in, unsure who he can trust, or if he can even trust himself.
Now, with both the terrorists and the cops on his trail, Charlie makes his way home to find some answers. Holed up in an abandoned mansion, Charlie is joined by his high school buddies as he tries to find the truth about a murder he can't remember—and recover the love he can't forget.
Andrew Klavan is the author of twelve previous novels, and has written many successful screenplays, including adaptations of his own best-selling books, Don't Say a Word (with Michael Douglas) and True Crime (with Clint Eastwood). He has been nominated for the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allan Poe Award five times and won twice. His most recent novel written for adults, the political thriller Empire of Lies (2008), reached number one on the Amazon.com thriller list. Klavan currently lives in Southern California with his wife and two children.
