    About this ebook

    Read the sold-out novel that broke the record for the world's youngest novelist.

    Inspired by a recurring childhood nightmare, D is the story of Daniel Seaton, lonely and mysterious asylum inmate. D is not insane, but he lives in a terrible world of noises - noises he can hear from other people's ears. The doctors won't let him sleep, they want to keep him awake until he can stand it no more - all for the sake of their dream research.

    And now someone wants to kill D. Stalking him is a creature who can hear the noises in his head, and wants to stop them, to kill the sound.

    A nurse is brutally murdered, keys to the asylum go missing, and a terrifying figure in a white hood stalks the corridors. Beautiful intern Dianne Reicher is D's only hope. With her help he must fight to hold on to his sanity, his freedom... and his life.

    Marcus Gibson

    My first novel was published in paperback 1995. A literary thriller titled 'D', the 10,000 copy print run sold out in several weeks, and with publication a few weeks after my 22nd birthday, 'D' broke the standing Guinness World Record for the world's 'youngest novelist writing adult-themed work' by 2 years. Prior to publication of 'D', I was recognised in several short story and poetry competitions. 'D' received favourable reviews, and I made media appearances in print and on radio and live television. I'm now 42 and live in Melbourne, Australia. My professional career has spanned construction worker, script editor, presenter, corporate spokesperson, producer, software developer, business analyst, knowledge manager, sustainability advisor, and environmental manager in a range of sectors including IT, pharmaceuticals, property and finance, civil engineering, and construction. I have two more titles - 15 years in the making - now on Smashwords.

      Oct 18, 2021

      If science fiction has an answer to fantasy’s The Lord of the Rings – JRR Tolkien’s epic saga of the battle to defeat the Dark Lord, Sauron – then Frank Herbert’s Dune has to be a strong contender. Published in 1965, it is the story of the desert pla
