A whale has beached itself on the shores of the River Novus. The world watches, willing her to live, as she struggles to survive. But a dark force wants the whale to die. Morbidius Ultimatum, a diabolical creature who draws his power from humanity's negative emotions, knows that the whale's death will generate so much sorrow for him to feed on that he will become invincible. But Morbidius's plan is thwarted when two children, Chilli, Ty and his three-legged baboon Oubaas are lured into his dark world. Can this trio of friends overcome their fear and stop Morbidius's Earth Clock before it chimes Zero Hour?

Review

By Cyrus Webb : Top 500 Reviewer (Vine Voice) - 31 December 20145 out of 5 StarsThere is nothing like the power of one. It is a power that not everyone appreciates, but that doesn't make it any less a force.

That is what Chilli and Ty discover in Diane Van der Westhuizen's book WILD AVENGERS. They are able to realize that they each have the ability to make the difference in the lives of animals and the world---but they have to be willing to try.

The book takes us into a mad man's plans to collect the last surviving member of each species, but his efforts are not going unchallenged. Chilli and Ty are going to race again time to stop evil Morbidius Ultimatum and in the process show how we are all connected and in need of each other's help along the way in life.

Definitely a book that teaches some valuable lessons in an entertaining fashion, WILD AVENGERS is a runaway literary hit

About the Author

Di is a South African author who dared to jump off the office hamster wheel and use a talent she had been ignoring for many years - writing. Over the years she discovered that her quirky style has been influenced by an odd concoction of the works of Laurie Lee (breathtaking descriptive prose), P J O'Rourke (cynical, intelligent humour) and Roald Dahl (twisted imaginings). She has written three books, viz.: Wild Avengers, The Seagull and the Sheik and Chilli Bites (a collection of short stories). She has had articles published in South Africa's most widely-read family magazine and a chapter of The Sheik and the Seagull (in its previous incarnation as The Friendly Desert) included in an anthology of new writers published by New London Writers. She is currently working on a tale of whimsy and magic set in a garden - Delicious Monsters.

I write because I have to. It's the only way I know to stay sane in an insane world. It is in writing that I have come to find things I didn't know I knew, and to make sense of the senseless.

I've published three books to date: a collection of short stories - Chilli Bites, Revenge, a Dish Best Served Cold, Wild Avengers and The Seagull and the Sheikh.

I am currently writing Delicious Monsters, a book that is writing itself, somehow. It's a whimsical story about a magical garden, a little old lady who delights in visits from those who have 'crossed over', and a young girl whose mind is transformed by magic and monsters.
