Surrounded by the nothingness of the harsh outback and reliant upon the kindness of strangers, the tour group find themselves at Mick's mercy when their van succumbs to mechanical problems. From there author Greg McLean crafts a deadly game of cat and mouse as, one by one, the group meet their death. It's bloody, violent and blends elements of R-rated thriller with survival horror.

Mick is perhaps the most terrifying bad guy I've read or seen on the silver screen. His laid-back Aussie accent and unassuming facade make him that much more menacing, especially when he's lost to the voices inside his head and dancing around wearing human hide. I'm not sure if there are plans for anymore prequel novels continuing the Wolf Creek story but I do have my fingers crossed for more.

There is a whole world of pain out there waiting for Mick to explore and exploit. Highly recommended. View all 5 comments. Sep 02, Angela Crawford rated it it was amazing.

This book is so much fun!! Even though I knew that this was a prequel to the movies I still found myself hoping that someone would get out alive. Great characters and a fast paced storyline make this book a super fun way to spend an afternoon.

Grab this 4. Jun 21, Beth Polly rated it really liked it. Loved this book. McLean and McBean didn't let me down however I felt the pace as a lot faster than book one.

Though it always takes time to set the scene with a chatacter as intriguing as Mick. I could really see the landscape and enjoyed the group of travellers there was so much going on I honestly didn't know who was going to survive and loved the flashbacks.

Will definitely read more!! Mar 01, Jamesy Robertson rated it really liked it. This novel is probably my favourite one out of the two, it portrays Mick Taylor believably and capitalises on his mannerisms and personality very well.

The novel itself is quite graphic especially with some scenes that are set in the Vietnam War that are really quite horrific and disturbing, but if you are fascinated by that kinda stuff like me, you'll be fine. If you enjoyed the mo This novel is probably my favourite one out of the two, it portrays Mick Taylor believably and capitalises on his mannerisms and personality very well. If you enjoyed the movies as well as the TV Show I'm pretty sure this novel is based off the second season of Wolf Creek, then you'll most likely love, or at least, enjoy this book.

Feb 25, Zelda rated it it was amazing. Gripping, tense, dripping with blood. Parts of this book are a tie in with the latest Wolf Creek television series. However, it is much darker than the television series. It is very well written, and intensely real. I had to put down the book several times because of the horrific, graphic descriptions of violence. Not for the faint hearted, and, if you suffer from depression, I don't recommend reading this book. If you love horror, then this is the ultimate book for you.

She then picks up another camera which turns out to be Ben's, through viewing some of Ben's footage, the recording ends focusing on a scene with Mick's truck in the background, indicating he'd been following them long before they got to Wolf Creek.

She gets into a car and attempts to start it, but Mick shows up in the back seat and stabs her through the driver's seat with a huge knife. After more bragging and yelling about his truck getting wrecked, he hacks three of Liz's fingers off in one swipe, then picks her up and head-butts her into near unconsciousness.

He then severs her spinal cord with a knife, paralyzing her and rendering her a "head on a stick. Mick then interrogates her as to Kristy's whereabouts until he would kill her off-screen, it is unknown if she gave Mick any information. By dawn, a barefoot Kristy has reached a surface highway and is discovered by a passing motorist, who attempts to help her.

Mick, who has discovered their location through his sniper rifle or from Liz , uses the rifle to shoot the motorist dead from far away. Rather than shoot and kill Kristy though, Mick gives chase in a fast Holden HQ Statesman, prompting Kristy to take off in the dead man's car.

She succeeds in ramming Mick off the road when we catches up, but he coolly gets out of the car and shoots out Kristy's back tire, causing the car to flip over into the bush. A disoriented, dazed Kristy climbs out of the wreckage and while she desperately attempts to crawl away, Mick walks over and shoots her dead.

He bundles Kristy's body into the back of the wrecked car with the body of the dead motorist. Mick then torches the car before calmly driving off in triumph. The action then cuts to Ben, whose fate until now has not been revealed. He awakens to find himself nailed to a mock crucifix in a mine shaft, with an aggressive, caged Rottweiler in front of him and several other partially eaten corpses beside him. He manages to painfully extract himself from the crucifix and enters the camp in early daylight.

Ben escapes into the outback, but becomes hysterical and dehydrated, eventually passing out beside a dirt road. He is discovered by two shocked Swedish travellers who take him to Kalbarri, where he is airlifted to hospital. The ending 'reveals' that no trace of Kristy and Liz were found despite several major police searches. Early investigations were disorganised and hampered by confusion, lack of physical evidence and the alleged credibility of Ben.

After four months in police custody, Ben was cleared of all suspicion and currently lives in southern Australia. The film then ends with the silhouette of Mick Taylor walking into the sunset, rifle in hand.

In the opening scene, Mick is pulled over by Gary Bulmer and Brian O'Connor, two highway patrol officers whom are desperate to meet a quota for speeding tickets. The officers claim that he breaking the speed limit, which he is not. After belittling and insulting Mick, they give him a speeding ticket and an order to get rid of his truck. Annoyed at their rudeness and arrogance, Mick promptly uses his hunting rifle to blast O'Connor's head as they drive away, causing the car to crash down into a gulley.

Bulmer, having broken his leg in the crash, tries to crawl away only to be caught and stabbed by Mick, who then burns him alive in the police car. Mick is later seen when German backpackers Katarina and her boyfriend Rutger are hitch-hiking and try to flag his truck down.

Mick initially stops, but when he sees an approaching truck, he speeds away. Mick later on appears to them again as they camp in a wooded area for the night. Mick claims that they are violating rules of the "national park" that they're camping in and offers them a lift to town so that they won't be fined, but Rutger insists that they are not.

Seeing that they were not fooled, Mick then loses his temper and stabs Rutger in the back. He then begins to tie down Katarina and prepares to rape her but a wounded Rutger comes back and engages Mick in a fist fight. He is eventually overpowered and finally decapitated. Horrified at her boyfriend's death and at the notion of spending "a few long, fun months" with Mick, Katarina passes out.

She wakes up to see Mick carving up Rutger's corpse to feed to his dogs. She flees into the bush and Mick pursues her in his truck. British surfer Paul is driving along the highway when he sees Katarina standing on the road. He lets her into the car, but Mick gives chase in his truck and taunts them.

Eventually, one of Mick's rifle shots aimed for Paul unintentionally hits Katarina when Paul ducks the shot, killing her instantly - much to Paul's horror and Mick's dismay. Paul then escapes in his Jeep and after disposing of Katarina's body, reaches a deserted highway. In that period of time, Mick hijacks a semi-trailer, presumably killing its driver, and uses it to bait Paul when he reaches the highway.

Mick gives chase in the semi-trailer, ramming Paul many times and even sadistically ploughing through a mob of kangaroos at one point. Eventually, he rams Paul off the road and down a steep hillside. Paul survives the crash and taunts Mick, causing Mick to launch the semi-trailer down the hill without him in it.

Paul then flees for his life as Mick watches curiously atop the hill. After some time, Paul comes upon an outback homestead and is given hospitality by eccentric elderly couple Jack and Lil. They plan to take Paul to town, but Mick shows up at the property apparently having been following Paul for some time.

Jack confronts Mick outside with a shotgun, who demands that Paul be given to him. Jack refuses and threatens Mick with the shotgun, ordering him to leave. Mick pretends to leave but when he has the chance, sneaks in through the back door. Jack tells Paul that they're leaving for town and goes to grab another gun in case Mick is still out there. A second season, featuring Mick targeting a busload of tourists in the Outback, came out in late Community Showcase More.
