Will it work on my eReader?Cambridge linguist Edvard Tøssentern, presumed dead, reappears after a balloon crash. When he staggers in from a remote swamp, gravely ill and swollen beyond recognition, his colleagues at the research station are overjoyed. But Edvard’s discovery about a rare giant bird throws them all into the path of an international crime ring. The Weaver Fish is a gripping adventure story set on the island nation of Ferendes in the South China Sea and based in sound science.

“That Edeson can balance action clichés with gorgeous scientific asides is proof of his unique gifts.” —Australian Book Review
