I've already read all of the books in the Tunnels series. Sometimes, I find really hard to stop! It was when I was searching in the Tunnels Wiki when I discovered Drake's Process, the prequel to the Tunnels series. I'm just curious about Drake's background story, so is there any way that I can get a copy or summery?

Roderick Gordon Many thanks for your question. It was called "Drake's Progress" and was an idea my publisher and I kicked around - I mapped out a full plan for the plot (which is unusual for me) and wrote a few chapters. However, my publisher didn't feel it was the right time to be considering prequels so I put it to one side to work on Summerhouse Land. Even now I keep thinking about the story and will definitely go back to it one day. What's so great is it allowed me to spend more time with Drake's "strange uncles" who first appeared in T5, particularly Sweeney - I miss him like anything! It was also in the back of my mind that there could be a whole series of Drake and Parry prequels, but I'm not sure that will ever become reality (or fiction).
