Vega Jane was always told no one could leave the town of Wormwood. She was told there was nothing outside but the Quag, a wilderness filled with danger and death. And she believed it—until the night she stumbled across a secret that proved that everything she knew was a lie. Now just one thing stands between Vega Jane and freedom—the Quag. In order to leave Wormwood and discover the truth about her world, Vega and her best friend Delph must find a way to make it across a terrifying land of bloodthirsty creatures and sinister magic. But the Quag is worse than their darkest imagining. It's a living, breathing prison designed to keep enemies out and the villagers of Wormwood in. It will throw everything at Vega Jane. It will try to break and kill her, and survival might come at a price not even Vega Jane is willing to pay. David Baldacci is a global #1 bestselling author.

  • David Baldacci Interview
    David Baldacci Interview 1) Your first books published were all standalone novels and now you have three different series running. What brought about the change of direction? I think it was a desire to bring certain characters back. First were the King & Maxwell stories where I had so much more to tell. Women especially love Michelle Maxwell. 2) You have different styles for each individual series with Shaw being just one man, King and Maxwell a duo and the Camel Club a whole team of people. Did you intentionally choose these character sets or was it just the way the books arose? It was the way things worked out for all the series. The Camel Club is an ensemble around Oliver Stone with each character having different skill sets. 3) You have also written some gentler almost literary novels such as One Summer and The Christmas Train. What is your opinion of the divide between crime fiction and literary novels? It’s a silly argument to have as readers read both styles / genres. The argument between the two helps neither camp. 4) In The Sixth Man which is your latest UK release you have Edgar Roy a character with a fantastic intellect who is used as a super analyst. Do such people exist in reality or is the whole premise your own creation. Some of it is my creation, but there really are people with an eidetic memory and I though what a really interesting idea for a character. 5) All of your books are intricately plotted and show clear evidence of lots of research.

  • Wish You Well by David Baldacci
    Wish You Well by David Baldacci About the book This compelling and touching tale of the human spirit, set in the southwest Virginia mountains, reveals the power of family, endurance, and triumph. Southwest Virginia, 1940. Wish You Well is the story of Louisa Mae Cardinal, a precocious twelve-year-old girl living in the hectic New York City of1940 with her acclaimed but sadly underpaid writer father, her compassionate mother, and her timid young brother, Oz. For Lou, her family's financial struggles are invisible to her. Instead, she is a daughter who idolizes her father and is in love with the art of storytelling. Then, in a single, terrifying moment, Lou's life is changed forever, and she and Oz are on a train rolling away from New York and down into the mountains of Virginia. There, Lou's mother will begin a long, slow struggle between life and death. And there, Lou and Oz will be raised by their remarkable great-grandmother Louisa, Lou's namesake. Suddenly, a girl finds herself coming of age in a landscape that could not be more foreign to her. On her great-grandmother's farm, on the land her father loved and wrote about, Lou finds her first true friend, learns lessons in loyalty, tragedy, and redemption; and experiences adventures tragic, comic, and audacious. When a dark, destructive force encroaches on their new home, Lou and her brother are caught up in another struggle-a struggle for justice and survival that will be played out in a crowded Virginia courtroom. About the author I was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1960.
