Product Description

Product Description

Put that in your car and smoke it!

On the day David Turner is supposed to emigrate to New Zealand, he witnesses a savage murder and becomes caught up in ruthless global conspiracy.

A thirty year-old technological discovery threatens his own future and jeopardises the lives of millions of others as David discovers that starting a new life is about to become a deadly game of cat and mouse... and, somewhat surprisingly, cows.

Modifying milk so that ethanol can be processed from it could be the solution to an impending global oil crisis, but drinking it will kill you.

Can the truth be uncovered before an entire country is sacrificed to satisfy the world's demand for bio-fuel?

About the Author

Matt Hammond was born in London and spent much of his life in the UK before emigrating to New Zealand in 2002. Inspired by the scenery and the laid back Kiwi lifestyle, he began to develop a fully-fledged fast-paced ecologically-inspired thriller, 'Milkshake'. He now works for the New Zealand government and is currently at work writing the sequel to 'Milkshake'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific read 11 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book does what all thrillers should - it keeps you hooked and ensures you keep turning the pages.

At first, it all seemed a little unlikely, but as the story progressed the possibility that such an imperialistic move could be made in the fight for alternative fuel products became frighteningly feasible. Especially when you find out who is behind it. Let's face it, who else could it be?

Matt Hammond also paints a fabulous picture of New Zealand. So much so that I shall be serously considering a trip sometime.

4.0 out of 5 stars black coffee from now on methinks! 4 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thinking of emigrating to a safer place? That's what David Turner thought he was doing but he is in for a shock.
From the very first page this book takes you to places you didn't expect. An intricate web of plotting and intrigue keeps going to the end. Those dastardly Americans are behind it all. Who will save the day?

5.0 out of 5 stars Entirely feasible 13 Oct 2011
By Marj
Format:Kindle Edition
This thriller relies on a scientific breakthrough that seems impossible to start with, but once explained, is entirely feasible and very original. A well written thriller. To be commended.
