Product Description
After DEEPER, can the TUNNELS adventure be any more dangerous? And where will it end? Will Burrows and his gang are far from finished as they free-fall down a subterranean pore. As they experience reduced gravity, the dark mysteries of the deep unfold and they discover a strange fungal shelf, which not only reveals artifacs from ancient civilisations, but clues to a lost land at the end of the Earth. The third in the thrilling Tunnels series - an inernational publishing sensation.

Whilst I do not believe that the Tunnels series lives up to its supposed status of being the "next Harry Potter" that does not mean that it should simply be discarded. I think branding the series as such has done it a gross injustice - most are probably bound to feel that the series is a let down if they are comparing it to Harry Potter. And really the "Tunnels" series provides readers with a fresh and exiting world to fall into that has no real parallels with J.K.Rowling's world.
I must admit that at first the series appears wordy - descriptions are plenty and the wording is often lengthy. Sometimes I have felt that maybe the editors could have been a bit more lethal during the editing process! Yet the vocabulary is varied and whilst it does sometimes appear of a somewhat old nature, this does help to create a feel for the world in which young Will Burrows is slowly digging deeper into.
However, with Freefall, no such issues spring to mind. I have to admit that when I first got this out of the library I left it for weeks, only occasionally reading a few pages, but not really getting into the story. It had been a while since reading "Deeper" Deeper (Tunnels)and the previous plot was not so forthcoming in my brain.
But when I did actually make an effort to remember, the 500 plus pages sped by. The words that spring to mind are a "light read". I know this seems ridiculous: the books is almost as thick as a brick! Yet surprisingly whereas in the previous two books the writing had sometimes been tedious, Freefall seemed to flow effortlessly.
Which is truly a shame because some may have already have been put off at the start of "Tunnels" Tunnels (Tunnels 1)and will now be missing out on a thoroughly enjoyable and, crazily, easy-going read!
I would truly recommend readers to keep digging deeper!

The latest instalment of The Tunnels Series had a lot to live up to, and I'm glad to report that it certainly has exceeded all expectations!
Just like the previous books Gordon and Williams have blown us out of the water! Freefall contains all the excitement, exhilleration , and above all the mystery the readers have come to expect.
Once again we find Will Burrows in perilous circumstances after a long fall down the "Pore." I would struggle to write a full review of the events that happen in Freefall because so much happens! The reader is on a constant quest of discovery, one moment you're running down dark subterranean passages, the next you're exploring old soviet submarines!
This is really one of the books I get a real sense of escapism from, you really feel as if you're there with Will and ever-bumbling Chester, you feel the adrenaline (and believe me, in this book there is a lot of adrenaline!) the books give you a real rush.
Gordon and Williams are very successful at spinning multiple yarns, telling us not only the story of Will and Chester, but of all the other characters, I particularly loved reading about Will's mother's escapades, Freefall certainly has a lot to offer.
Freefall is an excellent continuation of the story, my only tiny, tiny gripe is that the cover has changed slightly to the previous books on the spine so it looks a bit odd on my bookshelf, but hey, who really cares? All in all Freefall is simply incredible, believe me Tunnels fans, you wont be dissappointed!
