What a sensational ride Pangea is . . . as it twists and turns, careers around wild unexpected corners from the very start, yet is consummately controlled by the invisible strings of [Henderson's] narration. I love the synthesis of every conceivable thing in the mix - hints of Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, comic book, matinee and epic classical heroes (a la Raiders of the Lost Ark), legends and myths, esoterica, science, para-science, geology, geography, anthropology, history, social iconography, bread and circuses, time travel and . . . Freddy! - Kingsley Allen

Author Information

Born and raised on Yorke Peninsula in rural South Australia, Don Henderson, in cahoots with his brother and sister and his army of cousins, developed a quirky sense of adventure from a young age. Don worked as a roustabout in woolsheds and as a stock agent before enrolling at The University of Adelaide, where he majored in English Literature. He taught high school English in South Australia, Victoria, Arnhem Land, and Japan. He indulged his passion for writing in various ways, most notably as the founder, editor, and sole scribe of the Tarcoola Times, and, later, as a sports writer for the Whyalla News. Lamenting the lack of high interest books for boys he wrote Half the Battle (2006) and Keepinitreal (2009), published by Scholastic. A third novel, Macbeth, You Idiot! (2009), was published by Penguin. He couldnt stop imagining a high adventure book set in an incredible world, so, when he returned to serious writing a few years ago, he enrolled in a creative writing PhD at The University of Adelaide and set to work on Pangea and almost back.
