Looking for a gripping yarn on adventure? Thought no one cared about teenage boys and heroes within them? Try Only The Brave Dare, a new Australian novel by Christopher J. Holcroft which is aimed specifically at teenage readers.

Imagine a group of Venturer Scouts on a Christmas holiday and they go to explore the hulk of a wrecked submarine. The night before a Russian mother ship drops off a load of heroin around the boat. A group of land based Russian mafia go to retrieve the drugs ready to flood Australian capital cities. They intercept the boys and end up taking them prisoner. The boys are locked up in a convict jail with a lighthouse on top. The most unassuming boy escapes and turns the lighthouse into a weapon against the Russians.
