Gone Where the Goblins Go

In the near future, Tilly, a former army pilot mourning the loss of her father, has been recruited by a British conglomerate to fly a rescue team into war-torn China in search of their missing conservationist and his team. Joined by an eclectic collection of misfits, Tilly and her makeshift crew must brace themselves for a long slog up the forested and danger-filled Yellow River. Can anything prepare them for the genetically-altered horrors and unscrupulous folks that await them along the way? Blending military sci-fi, light fantasy, and a touch of horror, Gone Where the Goblins Go offers a wonderfully strange blend of Apocalypse Now and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

"A perfectly gritty dystopia. Starring a true-to-life female veteran protagonist, this novel seamlessly intertwines the human condition with inhuman parallels." - Dacia M Arnold, author of the DiaZem Series, ChapterBuzz Winner 2017/ 2018

“Betts has created a heroine after my own heart in Tilly, a grieving combat helicopter pilot in this gritty, non-conforming horror military mashup. Monsters and badassery combine for a thought-provoking and compelling creature feature. Highly recommend!” - GabyTriana, author of Moon Child and editor of the Literally Dead ghost anthologies

"The book deftly merges and challenges many subgenres of Sci-fi yet the plot unfolds smoothly and was undeniably fresh. 5 stars - MUST READ" Book Nerdection
