Synopsis

Life rushes on. Do we make every second count, or want to stop time ticking by? China. Desperate to secure its status as the world s new superpower, develops a plan that threatens the stability of the West. A situation that should be a world away from four disconnected school friends, embarking on a re-bonding cycling holiday. It s a ride into the heart of the People s Republic but instead of strengthening their unity, suspicion grows at every turn, love grows, trust disintegrates, until their very existence is threatened. Time Stops Ticking is a novel very much of our times, set vividly against the dramatic backdrop of a China that most tourists never experience rural, raw and real. Gray, author of Blinkered, writes with a powerful narrative, and a multi-perspective of a country and its people as a backdrop to a fascinating love-hate interaction between the story s principal characters. A feast of high-octane drama with twists a-plenty for the cycling Brits along their switchback route of friendship.
