Jim thought his luck was in when he won the lottery. He couldn't help telling everyone about the windfall. But Jim's luck changed when he and his brother accepted a lift from Kevin and Socker. They were suddenly being kidnapped. Kevin had pulled a gun. The car was headed out into the wild country of the Australian bush.

But the bush has a way of turning the tables. Miles from anywhere, in a world of scrub and shanty, the kidnappers become the victims of a wild and terrible enemy that lurks in the mists...

I've been meaning to read this for years; since I was a kid, in fact. Now I wish I'd done it sooner as it's a great little story. I couldn't decide whether to list it as children's, teen's or sff, as it's all of those things. I'm pretty sure I read other Phipson books way back when but I can't remember which ones. Anyway, this is an excellent read, and don't cross the cats. I wouldn't have been as merciful as Willy & jim; no one would have found a trace of Kevin or Socker if I'd had my way.
