MAROONED: The Crossing

Carl Lakeland

The engine dies without warning. No smoke. No drama. Just silence - and an endless, freezing sea.

Ricky Gabriel, his brother Jason, and a pregnant woman named Chloe drift with no fuel, no destination, and dwindling supplies. The ice is behind them. The ocean is everywhere else. Hunger turns from discomfort into calculation, and survival becomes a series of choices no one should ever have to make.

Jason believes in rules. Rations. Math. Hard decisions made early so fewer people die later. Ricky believes in mercy - in love, in hope, in the belief that survival without humanity isn't survival at all. Caught between them is Chloe, growing weaker by the hour, carrying a child the world no longer has room for.

As the days stretch into something uncountable, the sea begins to watch them back. Orcas move beneath the lifeboat with deliberate purpose, lifting, guiding, disappearing without explanation. Help, when it comes, feels less like rescue and more like judgment.

When a ship finally rises from the horizon - impossibly old, impossibly intact - the survivors are faced with a truth far more unsettling than death at sea. They have not been saved. They have been chosen.

MAROONED: The Crossing is a brutal, atmospheric sequel about survival after survival - about the cost of staying human when the world has already ended. A story of hunger, love, brotherhood, and the thin, dangerous line between necessity and cruelty.

This is not a story about escape. It's about what comes after.

Autorenporträt
Carl Lakeland lives with his wife in the sleepy town of Snake Valley, 36 kilometers southwest of Ballarat in Australia.

Lakeland grew up during the early seventies western suburbs of Sydney. Having enlisted into the military at the age of seventeen, he draws on his experience to create powerful and engaging speculative fiction.

"Sometimes, I can't let things be," says Lakeland. "I write stories with a passion that others might see as being obsessive. I live and breathe it. I dream it when I sleep. But I never write down my dreams. If I can't remember those things I've dreamt, they're not important enough."

Carl Lakeland's stories revolve around the element of 'what if?' He pushes the boundaries of his stories to the edge of the Official Secrets Act, which will have the reader wondering about the aspect of creative license, or the possibility of fact in his writing. Either way, the reader will be left to make up their own mind. His books are fast paced, edge of your seat thrillers which are distinctively written in a way that will have the reader guessing which way the story is about to head.

"As a writer, unpredictability is the key essence. If I write something that can be foreseen in coming chapters, it's not good enough. I will scrap it. My goal is to keep the reader wondering, even sometimes to the detriment of my good guys!"
