"A great story; really made a person think."

Purchased on Mighty Ape

First read this story several years ago, and wanted to read again and pass on to my partner.

Description

A classic adventure from the author of A Town Like Alice and On the Beach. It is the rainy season. Drunk and delirious, an old man lies dying in the Queensland bush. In his opium-hazed last hours, a priest finds his deserted shack and listens to his last words. Half-awake and half-dreaming the old man tells the story of an adventure set decades in the future, in a very different world...
