Alexander Gordon Smith Books Overview

Lockdown

Furnace Penitentiary: the world’s most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth s surface. Convicted of a murder he didn t commit, sentenced to life without parole, new fish Alex Sawyer knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to a death behind bars, in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. Soon Alex discovers that the prison is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood drenched tunnels below. And behind everything is the mysterious, all powerful warden, a man as cruel and dangerous as the devil himself, whose unthinkable acts have consequences that stretch far beyond the walls of the prison.

Together with a bunch of inmates some innocent kids who have been framed, others cold blooded killers Alex plans an escape. But as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace s deeper, darker purpose, Alex s actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that s hidden from the eyes of the world.

Solitary

Thrown into Solitary confinement for his failed escape attempt from furnace prison, Alex Sawyer struggles not to let the hellish pitch-black silence overwhelm him. Before another escape attempt is even possible, he must first survive the nightmare that now haunts his endless nights. Because the hole doesn’t need monsters to do its dirty work – not the usual brutes in black suits and their silver-eyed, fleshless hounds, or wheezing freaks with filthy syringes. All it needs is Alex and his own fears, now that he’s seen firsthand the terrible fate awaiting him and his mates in Furnace’s secret tunnels and labs. In Solitary, Alexander Gordon Smith takes us still deeper into the terrifying underground world of Furnace Penitentiary. Listeners will hurtle from thrill to chill in this rocket-paced prison-break odyssey where nightmares are made.

Death Sentence

Alex’s second attempt to break out of Furnace Penitentiary failed. This time, his punishment will be much worse than before. Because in the hidden, bloodstained laboratories beneath the prison, he will be made into a monster. As the warden pumps something evil into his veins a sinisterly dark nectar Alex becomes what he most fears…
a superhuman minion of Furnace. How can he escape when the darkness is inside him? How can he lead the way to freedom if he is lost to himself?

Fugitives

Forever altered by his experience in Furnace Penetentiary, Alex has done the impossible and escaped. But the battle for freedom is only just beginning. Charged with his superhuman abilities, Alex must uncover the last of Furnace’s secrets the truth about the man who built the prison, the man known as Alfred Furnace. And to do that he must stop running and finally confront his greatest fears.

After accidentally turning their headmaster blue, they win a year’s scholarship with the world’s richest, cleverest, most charismatic inventor, Ebenezer Saint. And along with twenty three of the brightest scientific minds in the land, they begin their year long stay in the Saint’s Solutions paradise, a vast industrial compound filled with unimaginable inventions. But it soon becomes clear that all is not what it seems. Ebenezer Saint is hiding a dark agenda and if Nate and Cat ever want to see their families again, they will have to out wit, out run and out invent the world’s greatest inventor.

Writing Best-Selling Children’s Books

Some people think that writing for kids is easy short books, no big words, non existent attention spans and then fill in any gaps with pictures. But nothing could be further from the truth. Children are the harshest critics imaginable. Give a grown up a copy of ‘Ulysses’ to read and they’ll pretend to like it just so they don’t look stupid. Give a copy to a kid and they’ll tell you straight up that it’s no good. Writing for children is much harder than writing for adults because it’s all about catching their attention and keeping it whether for five pages or five hundred. And being restricted by theme, vocabulary, length and a wandering attention span makes things infinitely more complicated. But creating books for children is also one of the most rewarding activities any writer can experience. To kids, stories are everything they fuel their imaginations and provide endless hours of entertainment. ‘Writing Bestselling Children’s Books’ isn’t a magic book. Opening it won’t instantly give you the ability to write a bestseller. But the hints, tips and exercises that Alexander has picked up over his years as a writer, and which got him his publishing deal with Faber, will help you free your imagination and create books that will capture children’s hearts forever.
