Guy Lane is an Australian sustainability consultant based in Townsville, North Queensland. He has been writing fiction since age 17.

Guy's stories combine drama, action and environmental themes, many of which are inspired by first hand experience.

Besides writing and advising on carbon, Guy Lane has also worked in petroleum exploration, commerical fishing and other environmental 'coal face' industries.

His first novel, The Oil Price is followed by a novella, Yongala. A number of other works are in process including the soon to be released Clown Ship, The Plank and Intervene.

Thirteen year old Felicity is accompanying her Uncle, Professor Portland, and his renewable energy machine, the Smoke Engine, to Townsville on the steam-ship Yongala.

The Queensland Coal Board, terrified of any renewable energy technology, hires Boer War veteran, Corben Plath, to kill Professor Portland and send the Smoke Engine to the sea bed.

In Plath's way are four undercover agents tasked with protecting the Professor and his machine.

As the ship steams into heavy weather, Plath comes to learn that his own salvation is tied to the niece of the man he has been sent to kill.
