Description
This novel's main characters are Fox, who has fled Australia following a possible murder charge and is in Irian Jaya fighting with freedom fighters, and his daughter Maree, who is trying to find him. Pascoe paints a vivid picture of the dispossession of the indigenous people of Irian Jaya and the fate of transmigrasi settlers.
