Campervans Gone Wild

JP Caughey

Looking for a different kind of journey? Chances are you’ve never had one like this! Strap yourself in for the trip of a lifetime, down under in New Zealand.

Campervans Gone Wild will transport you, absorb you, make you laugh and maybe cry. You’ll ‘see’ spectacular scenery and ‘meet’ the adorable people that keep the adventurer sane in the wildest of weather and with the most unscrupulous of van-hire companies.

Yet, behind the traveller’s smile lies the dilemma of not knowing where he really belongs. Does his exploration of New Zealand help? Perhaps Ivan knows. But who’s Ivan?

The seeds of inspiration

“You’ll need to get a proper job,” my parents told me as I neared the end of my education. But within a year of securing this “proper” job, I’d quit and was travelling the world. What I learnt quickly was that a career needs passion, and mine lay in seeing wild, unspoilt places, and in meeting people of every race.

My journey has taken me from the UK and the mountains of Norway to the deserts of Morocco, and from the jungles of Thailand to the forests of Canada and Brazil. But it was the antipodes that won my heart: first New Zealand, and now Australia.

This passion for travel is a passion for knowledge. It feeds my desire to write and provides a bottomless well of experiences to share with you, the reader. I hope my novel brings a smile to your face in these difficult times.

A family is pulled apart by ambition. Climate crises explode in two converging worlds. But there's someone who wants to help - if they let him.

Campervans Gone Wild

Howard Gaukrodger

An unexpected event and an unwanted journey push a young family to the other side of the world.

A sentient neurorobot designed for the desktop is lost, found and ends up in the hands of the new friends. As they unravel the mysteries of the robot’s world of Lufianblid, they sense there’s a connection between the worlds – and something’s not right.

A massive hurricane hits the Arctic. Floods wreak havoc in Lufianblid. The climate is venting its anger, but why? What’s causing these life-threatening events, and how can they get through the spiralling challenges?

“I love it!”

— Dan Brown, author and creator of the term ‘Cli-Fi’, climate fiction.

“A thrilling sci-fi adventure that’s as heartwarming as it is thought-provoking. If you love stories mixing technology, fantasy worlds, and urgent real-world themes, Campervans Gone Wild is a must-read!”

— Mansi Ramwani, Book Reviewer (@whatmansireads)

Campervans Gone Wild is the first book in a trilogy for young adults on the most serious threat that civilisation has ever faced - global warming.

Campervans Gone Wild is full of drama and mystery, humour and pathos. There is tragedy in Lufianblid, and intrigue in Felacynn. And both worlds struggle with disasters caused by the changing climate. At first, there appears to be nothing anyone can do, but then the world meets Maluk.

Campervans Gone Wild is an upbeat, dramatic and thought-provoking novel. Not only will it entertain you, but together with Books 2 and 3, the Lufianblid trilogy will grab your attention and make you see that you can actually do something - to help yourself and to help the world.

In preparing the story, my research journey took me through the dark dens of climate change deniers and self-centred, shortsighted, decision-makers. Everywhere I went, I saw how human activity was hurting our animals, our forests and oceans, jeopardising the biodiversity of the planet and the lives and cultures particularly of indigenous peoples.

"Climate fiction is a surprising source of hope."

Emma Pattee, Literary Hub, 14 Nov 2023

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on="on|off|on" admin_label="Text: Yet the longer.." _builder_version="4.27.5" _module_preset="7972bd15-0105-4a21-b464-003007cd8bf4" text_font_size="16px" text_letter_spacing="0.6px" header_font="Arima Madurai||||||||" header_2_font="Arima Madurai||||||||" header_3_font="Arima Madurai||||||||" text_orientation="justified" custom_margin="||||false|false" custom_padding="20px|0px|||false|false" animation_style="slide" animation_direction="right" animation_intensity_slide="5%" animation_starting_opacity="100%" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]

Yet, the longer my journey continued, the more I became aware of the growing number of leaders, the thousands of scientists, and the millions of ordinary citizens around the world seeking to reduce our production of greenhouse gases and to mitigate the effects of climate change. And by the time my research journey ended, I had become optimistic, for despite the devastating changes that civilisation has wrought on planet Earth in 200 years, public awareness of these changes and the will to rectify them has blossomed in just 20.

I am now filled with admiration for these progressive and caring leaders, these scientists and these ordinary citizens. The world is waking up to the threat of climate change. This is truly our ‘global dawning’.

Thank you for reading Campervans Gone Wild. I hope you enjoy it.

An unexpected event and an unwanted journey push a young family to the other side of the world.

Once there, they grab at opportunities: new jobs, new friends.

A sentient neurorobot designed for the desktop is lost, found and ends up in the hands of the new friends. As they unravel the mysteries of the robot’s world of Lufianblid, they sense there’s a connection between the worlds - and something’s not right.

A massive hurricane hits the Arctic. Floods wreak havoc in Lufianblid. The climate is venting its anger, but why? What’s causing these life-threatening events, and how can they get through the spiralling challenges?

“I love it!”

— Dan Brown, author and creator of the term ‘Cli-Fi’, climate fiction.

"A thrilling sci-fi adventure that’s as heartwarming as it is thought-provoking. If you love stories mixing technology, fantasy worlds, and urgent real-world themes, Campervans Gone Wild is a must-read!"

— Mansi Ramwani, Book Reviewer (@whatmansireads)

Campervans Gone Wild is the first book in a trilogy for young adults on the most serious threat that civilisation has ever faced - global warming.

Campervans Gone Wild is full of drama and mystery, humour and pathos. There is tragedy in Lufianblid, and intrigue in Felacynn. And both worlds struggle with disasters caused by the changing climate. At first, there appears to be nothing anyone can do, but then the world meets Maluk.

Campervans Gone Wild is an upbeat, dramatic and thought-provoking novel. Not only will it entertain you, but together with Books 2 and 3, the Lufianblid trilogy will grab your attention and make you see that you can actually do something - to help yourself and to help the world.

In preparing the story, my research journey took me through the dark dens of climate change deniers and self-centred, shortsighted, decision-makers. Everywhere I went, I saw how human activity was hurting our animals, our forests and oceans, jeopardising the biodiversity of the planet and the lives and cultures particularly of indigenous peoples.

"Climate fiction is a surprising source of hope."

Emma Pattee, Literary Hub, 14 Nov 2023

Yet, the longer my journey continued, the more I became aware of the growing number of leaders, the thousands of scientists, and the millions of ordinary citizens around the world seeking to reduce our production of greenhouse gases and to mitigate the effects of climate change. And by the time my research journey ended, I had become optimistic, for despite the devastating changes that civilisation has wrought on planet Earth in 200 years, public awareness of these changes and the will to rectify them has blossomed in just 20.

I am now filled with admiration for these progressive and caring leaders, these scientists and these ordinary citizens. The world is waking up to the threat of climate change. This is truly our ‘global dawning’.

Thank you for reading Campervans Gone Wild. I do hope you enjoy it.
