Bugley and the Fire Demon Island (Bugley and the Rim of Fire)

The inventor of the world's most advanced scientific machine, the Large Haldron Collider, has gone crazy and wants to send the planet into a distant, deathly frozen orbit around the sun. He has an army of zombies to help him, but he needs certain volcanic gases from the Pacific Rim of Fire to succeed.

Only Bugley, together with Junior High students Dan and Maia, stand in his way.

Bugley is an innocent looking small car that has been secretly modified by advanced scientists and aircraft and drone designers to be much more than he appears.

The great tectonic plates under the Pacific Rim of Fire and the volcanoes that spring from them, and the native indigenous people living there, will hold the key to whether they can succeed in saving the world, or not.

Bugley and the Fire Demon Island takes them to one of the secret islands of the Pacific. It is the first book of the Bugley and the Rim of Fire series, set in different locations around the Pacific Rim of Fire.

David Bosworth is a New Zealander, and lives in Auckland. He has a special interest and liking for the Pacific region, whether it be the more remote parts of Polynesia, or the coast of California or the islands of Hawaii. He sees the Pacific Ocean as a lake which binds together the nations whose shores are washed by its waves. He has sailed catamarans, and has scuba dived, in different parts of the Pacific, and has a special interest in traditional Polynesian navigation. He has practised as a lawyer in New Zealand (including on environmental issues), and the enchanting tropical islands of Vanuatu. Bugley and Fire Demon Island is his first book. It is the first of the series Bugley and the Rim of Fire, set in different locations around the Pacific Ocean's Rim of Fire, a region characterised by shifting tectonic plates, volcanoes, and geysers. His interest in the Rim of Fire began when he grew up on the shoreline of Auckland harbour, surrounded by beautiful volcanic hills, lakes, and islands. Dusty, the dog in the series, is based upon his much loved friend, Rusty, a Jack Russell terrier.
