Kalik ISBN: 9781877135590 Release: 12-2001 Subject: Young Adult Fiction Format: Paperback RRP: NZ$14.99 Download Resource Kit for teachers |
Ish is introduced to Lutha's Headland; a cruel and primitive society driven by fear and superstition. He quickly distrusts a quality in Lutha and her beautiful, elegant friend and lieutenant Kalik. Ish wishes to escape but realises he cannot go alone – as this would mean leaving behind a group of terrorised Children.
In Kalik, Ish uses all the skills and knowledge he has gained thus far: from Hagar and their travelling, from Taur and from the Shaman. He challenges superstition, he questions leadership and the use of violence, he sees what ignorance and fear brings. He in turn becomes the teacher to his group of Children.
A magnificent and powerful novel written by one of our finest writers. Kalik is the fourth and final volume in Jack Lasenby's award-winning 'Travellers Quartet.'
