Product Description

The New York Times Bestseller! The story of an outcast boy, his eccentric dad, and the scary underground world they discover through secret TUNNELS.

14-year-old Will Burrows has little in common with his strange, dysfunctional family. In fact, the only bond he shares with his eccentric father is a passion for archaeological excavation. So when Dad mysteriously vanishes, Will is compelled to dig up the truth behind his disappearance. He unearths the unbelievable: a secret subterranean society. "The Colony" has existed unchanged for a century, but it's no benign time capsule of a bygone era--because the Colony is ruled by a cultlike overclass, the Styx. Before long--before he can find his father--Will is their prisoner....

The Next Harry Potter? No. But the next "Tunnels"? Yes!
Barry Cunningham is best known for being the publisher who brought Harry Potter to the world by signing then unknown writer J.K. Rowling after she had been rejected by numerous other publishers.Since then, I'm sure he's been on the lookout for the "next big thing". Apparently the wait is over. In what's touted to be the "next Harry Potter", Mr. Cunningham has signed another unknown author, or rather pair of authors, Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams. Gordon and Williams had previously self-published their book as "The Highfield Mole". After what I'm sure was exhaustive marketing analysis, the book's title has been changed to "Tunnels".It's an unfair comparison to call a new book the "next Harry Potter". It's akin to saying a company is the "next Microsoft" or an up-and-coming band is the "next Beatles". There is no way any book will live up to the hype. And this book should not be compared to Harry Potter. It is its own animal. And it's pretty good...

Spinning out of control!

Just when you thought it couldn't get any deeper, darker, or weirder... Creeping into the open through cracks in the earth, the Styx have surfaced, and are now infesting England like some parasitic scourge -- carriers of a bizarre black secret that will place every last Topsoiler in mortal peril.

Unless Will Burrows puts a stop to the propagation.

Armed to the teeth, with little more than a motley crew of former commandos as reinforcements, can Will, Chester, and Elliott find a way to squash the threat? Or will they only find themselves in a deadly downward SPIRAL?

So much fun!
Our 13 month old daughter loves this tunnel. When she enters the playroom she will find it collapsed and gesture to have it opened. I thought she'd get bored of this after a couple months because it is just a tunnel after all but she squeals in delight as she crawls through it. We'll throw a ball through it once in awhile to see it come out the other end. The cats will run through it. When you close the flaps it's a super fun game of hide and seek and it must be thrilling for 13 month old to break through it. I don't get it but it makes her so happy.It's very lightweight, easy to collapse and store and is very durable. The flaps are a nice touch too. I highly recommend it.

Good toy
My daughter loves this toy. We gave it to her for her first birthday and she wants to play with it several times a day. My only complaint is that the feet don't have weights, which I had pictured, so the tunnel rolls when she crawls in it.

Not the last book.
I'm currently reading this, and its amazing. If you go to tunnelsthebook.com, it states that Closer is NOT the last book in the series; book five will be called Spiral and then there will be one more book after that to conclude the series( 6 BOOKS TOTAL IN THE TUNNELS SERIES).I am extremely happy.

At long last reunited with his dad, Will now spends his days exploring the "land of the second sun," decoding the cryptic glyphs carved into its three mysterious temples--or eyeing the wild animals with renegade girl Elliott. Chester, meanwhile, has finally returned Topsoil, where his homecoming is rapidly becoming a horror show. But an army of darkness is on the march. And the ruthless Rebeccas have once more cheated death. With a corps of cold-blooded Limiters at their command, they're determined to hunt Will to the bitter innards of the earth. This time, who WON'T escape with their life?

Nonstop adventure--looking forward to more
In CLOSER, three of our heroes are stranded in a strange world called the "Land of the Second Sun," which is located at the very center of the earth. But none of them are overly concerned with their predicament. In fact, they all feel relatively safe and even satisfied with their circumstances. In the case of Dr. Burrows, he is ecstatic to discover a new world to study and spends his hours crawling over the bizarre pyramids, recording everything in his journal. His son, Will, is happy to help, grateful to be with him and even more thankful to spend some time alone with Elliot as she scouts out the area, finding food and shelter.However, their peace is about to end. Another group of people call this place home: Germans who sought a safe refuge during WWII and who have successfully created a new civilization called New Germania. But even they aren't the real threat to Will and company; that comes when the evil Rebecca twins finally catch up to our heroes. They are desperate...

A different ending
I love this series- great for kids. This book keeps you interested the whole way through with a great plot, action scenes and many different story lines. The ending of the book left me a little disappointed. I am not sure if the series will continue, but I was hoping for a better closing to all the story lines.

Deeper and Darker
I ordered a copy of Deeper from an UK Amazon third party (I couldn't wait for the US release). I was expecting a lot in the way of character and plot development and I wasn't disappointed. If you enjoyed Tunnels, you'll love this sequel! The numerous nail-biting chapters leave the reader nearly as exhausted as the characters in the story! As dark as the Colony is described in Tunnels, the world of the Deeps is even darker and more deadly. However, the harshness of the environment is not nearly as terrifying as the evil of the Styx. A fantastic series!!

Now in paperback, the New York Times Bestselling sequel to TUNNELS, with bonus materials and a sneak peek at the third book in the series!

In TUNNELS, boy archaeologist Will Burrows went in search of his missing father--and discovered a sinister subterranean world. Now, wandering the dark, hot bowels beneath the Colony with his best friend, Chester, and his brother, Cal, Will stumbles across the Styx's dastardly plan to enslave all Topsoilers by poisoning them with a lethal toxin. Slowly he begins to piece together the plot. But how can Will save all those above from annihilation when his own life is at risk down below--and when his killer sister is still at large?

Better than Tunnels
Let's get to the point from the off: Deeper is better than Tunnels. I guess the next question is: how is it better?First up there is the pacing. Deeper begins where Tunnels left off, with unlikely protagonist Will Burrows still on the trail of his lost, curator father, and finding his friend Chester on board the train that is transferring him to the subterranean hell-hole that is The Deeps. The authors have pulled out the stops in grabbing - and maintaining - the reader's interest; something sorely lacking in the first book.Secondly there is more depth given to some of the main characters, the relationship between Will and Chester moves from the one dimensional, making the reader care a little more for these two guys. Will's estranged birth-mother is also given some airtime; her personality - feral - based upon her fugitive lifestyle as she keeps one step ahead of the relentless Styx.To discuss plotline so soon after release would not be fair on...

Rivetting to the end.
I finished Deeper. It has to be one of the best books/series I have read. I truly enjoyed every page. Up in the night for "just one more chapter."The only thing I did not like was that it contained for me, so much violence. It was just a lot "darker" than the first book. I would place it more as a book for adults than kids. I would have no hesitations with the kids reading Tunnels, but I found this one just a little "deep" in those areas for them. With the torture, firing squads, killing, shooting of one of the kids, it was just a bit much for what I would let any of my kids read at this point in their lives (aged 3 - 16).Both Gordon and Williams have created a masterpiece here...it is truly EXCELLENT work, I SO can't wait for Free Fall.WWW.ClaireGuthrie.com

Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams continue to bring readers on a journey of a life time.
The story of Tunnels, Deeper, and now Freefall, are absolutely incredible. Here are my reasons why:1. I enjoy realistic fiction. I like when a stories science fiction seems to work within the books reality. These books try to do that as much as possible while maintaining a sense of fun adventure. There are so many things that happen in these books that if seem like it could happen if you believe in the science that the writers have come up with inside the context of the book. The writers are able to make amazing things seem believable and real.2. The bad guys are bad. The danger is real, and it feels real. I enjoy a story that when someone is shown to be bad, they continue to be bad. It isnt the typical story where some bad guy monologues on about how bad he is, than shoots a guy so you believe what he says. No, these books have realistic danger and violence not just for violence sake, but for deepening the characters throughout the book. There are some parts...

It's the perfect adventure in which to completely bury oneself
Fourteen-year-old Will Burrows and his best friend, Chester, have unknowingly stumbled into an adventure of a lifetime. It all starts when Will's father, an archaeologist, disappears. While looking for him, Will and Chester discover a hidden tunnel behind a bookcase in the basement. Positive that this is where Dr. Burrows has gone missing, they delve into the tunnel to search for him, unaware of the adventure --- and horrors --- they are about to experience. They discover an underground city called the Colony, ruled by a harsh and unrelenting people called the Styx, and that Will himself is from the Colony. His birth mom, Sarah, took him and escaped to the surface when he was a baby; the Burrows are actually his foster family. Plus, after years apart and not even knowing he existed, Will is reunited with his younger brother, Cal.And then they learn of yet another shocker: his adopted sister, Rebecca, is actually a pair of Styx twins who has been spying on him all these...
