      Once upon a time there was a boy called Adam,

      Who liked writing books, to be sure.

      He wrote his first children’s book in 1999,

      And then wrote a whole heap more.

      Now he’s written about a million different books,

      Although it might be a little bit less.

      But it’s a lot, I’ll tell you that right now,

      Maybe 999 999 … at a guess.

      Adam Wallace loves writing books,

      But doesn’t like eating his words.

      He likes smelling musk lifesavers,

      But doesn’t like smelling dog … messes.

      He loves taking siestas and afternoon naps,

      But there are two things that freak him out.

      When the moon and sun are both up together,

      And fax machines, of course. What are they about?

      But all that aside, here are the facts,

      The things that you need to know.

      He’s 39 years old, 178 cm tall,

      And has a 6 cm big toe!

      Adam has many other books apart from Pete McGee: Dawn of the Zombie Knights. He even wrote some of them. Check it out!

reetings readers and listeners. For those of you who didn’t have the pleasure of reading The Incredible Journey of Pete McGee, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the narrator, the teller of stories, the words on these pages creating pictures in your mind. For those of you who did read The Incredible Journey of Pete McGee, you just had to read the exact same thing you read at the start of that book. I would like to say I’m sorry, but I’m not. You see, as a narrator I get paid per word, so even if I repeat stuff from the first Pete McGee book, it’s just extra dollaroonies in this little black duck’s pocket!

       Anyway …

       I suppose we should get into it.

       What you are about to read will blow your mind. It will change your world. It will affect you in ways that only the best fortune teller in the world could predict, and then only on a Tuesday. It will take your mind, mush it up like mashed potato, sculpt it into a statue of the Eiffel Tower, mess it all up again, make it back into a brain and then put it back in your head.

       That’s right, after reading this book you will never be the same again.

       And that’s brilliant … well, aside from your brain looking like an Eiffel Tower made of mashed potato. But everything else? That’s why we read. That’s what the best books do. They change us. They inspire us to be better or they make us laugh or they make us ring our mum more often or they make us want to bash our heads against a wall. Okay, that last one you would probably do after reading a really crappy and frustrating book, but you get what I mean.

       A great story gets inside you. It becomes part of you, and you feel like you’re a part of it, a part of the journey. It feels like you know the characters, like you’re in their world, they’re your friends, they’re your enemies.

       So get inside this book. Use all your senses. Imagine what it would feel like to be right there with Pete McGee. Smell the smells, see the colours, rejoice in the good times and feel like clipping Larson Smithers over the ear.

       Can you do that?

       For me?

       Good. You ready then? Okay. Get comfy and let’s go.

       Ahem hem …

       LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WELCOME TO THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IN THE JOURNEY THAT IS THE LIFE OF PETE McGEE. IT’S A STORY OF BRAVERY, PERSISTENCE, HONOUR, BULLIES AND, WAIT FOR IT … ZOMBIE KNIGHTS! SO PUT ON YOUR SEATBELTS, TIGHTEN UP THAT HELMET, ADJUST YOUR KNEE AND ELBOW PADS, AND ENJOY … PETE McGEE: DAWN OF THE ZOMBIE KNIGHTS.

       Well go on then, these pages aren’t going to turn themselves!

      

      

hat you are about to read is an extract from the diary of Arlyle Motain, a warlock from times gone by. The date of the entry has been blurred over the years, but it was made a number of centuries before Pete McGee even came on the scene.
