Times are tough in Western Australia. There's a war on, though
nobody will call it that yet. Dan, injured in the line of duty, now
takes in orphaned children until the Red Cross can find a place for
them. He's become an old hand at looking after the kids, running his
little hand crank radio, and just surviving.
That is
until Sid rolls up to his house on a motorcycle, claiming to be the
uncle of the baby girl Dan is currently looking after. It isn't that
Dan doesn't believe Sid, it's just that the man knows nothing about
taking care of babies and Dan doesn't see how Sid is going to manage
taking the child across the outback on his bike.
Heavy
bombing in the area prompts Dan to flee eastward with Sid and the baby,
but neither Sid nor the baby are your ordinary humans and the so-called
police action is becoming more and more of a war every day. Will Dan
and his companions survive the army, the war, the outback, and, worst
of all, Sid's relatives to become something more than they are?
Stay tuned to this exciting futuristic tale and find out!
