Tunnels - by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams
In August 1996, a manuscript was presented to Barry Cunningham.
The book was about a precocious boy wizard with a talent for racing broomsticks and getting into trouble.
Within minutes, the Cunningham knew he had stumbled across something special and within months this manuscript had been turned into a huge novel that made its author a star as the book shot up the ratings and sales boomed worldwide.
The book was Harry Potter.
Now it's happening again! A new manuscript landed on this same publisher's desk and was recognised in minutes as being special to the same degree as his former hit.
Tunnels - by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams is a classic fantasy tale with a science fiction edge.
The MD of Chicken House publishing has already sold the pre-publication rights in 15 languages.
He has amassed advances of over £500,000, with a major Hollywood film deal in the pipeline.
The signs are all there for another huge literary grand-slam.
The book features a boy archaeologist who discovers a lost world under London by digging into tunnels beneath the city.
It is a fast moving adventure that really gets your imagination going and completely absorbs you into the depths of the book you are reading.
Fourteen-year-old Will Burrows lives with his family in London.
He hasa passion for digging which he shares with his father.
When his father suddenly disappears down an unknown tunnel, Will, with his friend Chester, decides to investigate.
Soon they find themselves deep underground, where they unearth a dark and terrifying secret - a secret which may cost them..
