Set in subtropical Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, The Price Of Freedom is a nail-biting thriller, and a love story in which two young men discover that love is about more than sex. In his new school, Robert has trouble conforming to the expectations of his peers and is severely provoked by a fellow student; an acolyte of the fundamentalist Headmaster whose dogmatic Old Testament beliefs have led him to the brink of insanity. Relationships, morality, values, courage, friendship and what it takes to be a 'man', are but some of the themes explored in this gripping tale. When he falls in love, Robert's life falls into place - until attempts on both young men's lives force them to take extreme measures, the consequences of which pose an ethical dilemma that could destroy their new found happiness.
